Publisher Description
What do Coca-Cola, McDonald's, IBM, Microsoft and Virgin all have in common? Yes, they are all global giants, but what they are less recognized for are the many branded products they have launched which bombed spectacularly - and at great cost.
Brand Failures takes a riveting look at how such disasters occur. This new edition of Matt Haig's best-selling book, provides the inside-story of 100 major brand blunders that make for jaw-dropping reading. Brand Failures explores the brands that have set sail with the help of multi-million dollar advertising campaigns only to sink without a trace. From acknowledged brand mistakes made by successful blue-chip companies to some lesser know but hilarious bomb-shells, it reveals what went wrong in every case and provides a valuable checklist of lessons learnt for each.
A tour of this fascinating hall of failure will alert you to potential dangers and show you how to ensure a long, healthy life for your brand.
Customer Reviews
a mess
Not particularly well written. Not too many examples here that haven't already been covered (better) in the media. The "lessons" from each seem like they are disorganized, conflicting, and written by someone with attention span problems. Author elevates brand above all else, but gives no analysis to back up claims. Most disappointing book I've bought this year. Save your money. This book is a mess.
