Publisher Description
Since the publication of his previous best-selling title, BrandSimple, Allen P. Adamson has studied and worked with companies as they've experimented with and integrated digital initiatives into their branding mix. In his new book, BrandDigtial, he clearly demonstrates that in an environment where everything is transparent, brand professionals have unprecedented opportunities to learn more about their customers, and to deliver brand experiences that meet customer expectations better than ever before. Based on over 100 interviews with leaders in both the branding and digital technology industries, Adamson drives home his point by using case studies and first-hand, in-market examples from companies including Hewlett-Packard, Johnson & Johnson, Procter & Gamble, Nike, Ameriprise, Burger King, PepsiCo, and General Mills. Along with putting into proper context the role Google, YouTube, Second Life, social media, and blogs play in the branding process, Adamson shows how the best companies are taking advantage of evolving digital technology and its associated behavior to build stronger bonds with their customers and stronger, more responsive brands.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Adamson (BrandSimple) explores the new digital branding landscape, its plethora of choices and new terminology, citing corporations such as Nike, Proctor & Gamble and Unilever to demonstrate how the best marketers are using digital tools to build and manage their brands. Adamson surveys the gamut of new technologies and methods, presenting how social sites like Facebook and MySpace can be used as part of the branding mix, whether companies can get a better return on the development costs of television ads if they reformat them for YouTube, how to keep digital promotion integrated with traditional outreach and how to determine which technology to use to reach one audience versus another. In addition to providing a list of new terms all branding professionals should thoroughly understand, he covers such relevant topics as digitally watching consumers in action, organic content on company Web sites and spiders, and establishing a clear brand voice. Informative and engagingly written, this book will guide marketers and executives through the rapidly changing digital landscape and help them make informed decisions regarding the most effective branding opportunities available for their companies.
