DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe definitive book on sensory branding, shows how companies appeal to consumers’ five senses to sell products. Did you know that the gratifying smell that accompanies the purchase of a new automobile actually comes from a factory-installed aerosol can containing “new car” aroma? Or that Kellogg’s trademarked “crunch” is generated in sound laboratories? Or that the distinctive click of a just-opened jar of Nescafé freeze-dried coffee, as well as the aroma of the crystals, has been developed in factories over the past decades? Or that many adolescents recognize a pair of Abercrombie & Fitch jeans not by their look or cut but by their fragrance? In perhaps the most creative and authoritative book on how our senses affect our everyday purchasing decisions, global branding guru Martin Lindstrom reveals how the world’s most successful companies and products integrate touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound with startling and sometimes even shocking results. In conjunction with renowned research institution Millward Brown, Lindstrom’s innovative worldwide study unveils how all of us are slaves to our senses—and how, after reading this book, we’ll never be able to see, hear, or touch anything from our running shoes to our own car doors the same way again. An expert on consumer shopping behavior, Lindstrom has helped transform the face of global marketing with more than twenty years of hands-on experience. Firmly grounded in science, and disclosing the secrets of all our favorite brands, Brand Sense shows how we consumers are unwittingly seduced by touch, smell, sound, and more.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKIn the past, brands were the sole domain of owners, advertisers and marketers. Strategies were crafted in smoke-filled boardrooms and rolled out with little to no input from consumers. Times have changed. Today, consumers are the new owners. They have more information, more channels, more power and more choice but less time, less loyalty and less trust than ever before. Brands intersect every aspect of our lives, but the business of building brands is still misunderstood. Dim Sum Strategy presents a carefully curated selection of proven strategic tools, with insights and anecdotes from three decades working with some of the world's leading brands at the world's top agencies. The book is structured to follow the author's proven Brand Centered Management(TM) process, with a smattering of different "tools" split into four parts: Discovery, Definition, Direction, and Delivery. Each tool is presented in bite-sized, standalone chunks; you can read the book in stepwise fashion or cherry-pick in whatever order you wish--just like a dim sum meal. "This book is full of common sense. The kind of sense that isn't always common." --Andrew Robertson, President & CEO, BBDO Worldwide, Inc. "If you've had your fill of long-winded books on branding, then Dim Sum Strategy is for you. Filled with bite-sized nuggets of wisdom, it's the perfect format for time-stressed professionals. In other words, all of us." --Graham Kelly, Founder of Originate and former Executive Creative Director at Ogilvy, BBH, Saatchi & Saatchi, and TBWA "Peter Wilken brings great warmth, humanity, and vast experience to bear on his wide-ranging analysis of the myriad brand philosophies and tools out there. In an era where there is no 'one size fits all' solution, his Dim Sum Strategy is just what you need." --David Guerrero, Creative Chairman, BBDO Guerrero "I've read numerous books on brands and branding, but this one is refreshingly different. Peter Wilken, who has a wealth of experience in the field, has captured all the essentials right here and expressed them in an easy-to-digest manner.
