Product Description:
THE BRAND GAP is the first book to present a unified theory of brand. The second edition features a 220-term brand glossary and a premium softcover binding. Whereas most books on branding are weighted toward either a strategic or creative approach, this book shows how both ways of thinking can unite to produce a “charismatic brand”—a brand that customers feel is essential to their lives. In an entertaining two-hour read you’ll learn:
• a new definition of brand
• the five essential disciplines of brand-building
• how branding is changing the dynamics of competition
• the three most powerful questions to ask about any brand
• why collaboration is the key to brand-building
• how design determines a customer’s experience
• how to test brand concepts quickly and cheaply
• the importance of managing brands from the inside
The Brand Gap is an AIGA Design Press book published under Peachpit's New Riders imprint in partnership with AIGA.
FROM THE BACK COVER
Not since McLuhan’s THE MEDIUM IS THE MESSAGE has a book compressed so many ideas into so few pages. Using the visual language of the boardroom, Neumeier presents the first unified theory of branding—a set of five disciplines to help companies bridge the gap between brand strategy and customer experience. Those with a grasp of branding will be inspired by the new perspectives they find here, and those who would like to understand it better will suddenly “get it.” This deceptively simple book offers everyone in the company access to “the most powerful business tool since the spreadsheet.”
“The surprise book of the year!” —John Moore, Fast Company
“The first book on brand that seems fresh and relevant.” —Ric Grefe, executive director of AIGA, the professional association for design
“A pleasure to read.”—David A. Aaker, author of BRAND PORTFOLIO STRATEGY and BUILDING STRONG BRANDS
“Cuts to the heart of what brand is all about.” —Susan Rockrise, worldwide brand director, Intel
“Read this book before your competitors do!” —Tom Kelley, general manager, IDEO
FROM THE INSIDE FLAPS
“A pleasure to read. THE BRAND GAP consistently provides deep, practical insights in a light, visual way. Discover the power of imagery and the role of research in building a heavy-duty brand—without the heavy-duty reading.” —David Aaker, author of BRAND LEADERSHIP and BUILDING STRONG BRANDS
“Finally, a book that cuts to the heart of what brand is all about—connecting the rational and the emotional, the theoretical and the practical, the logical and the magical to create a sustainable competitive advantage.” —Susan Rockrise, Worldwide Brand Director, Intel
In THE BRAND GAP, Neumeier reminds us that the ultimate moment of truth for all brands is the customer experience. Customer perceptions trump our own perceptions.” —Kurt Kuehn, senior VP of worldwide marketing and sales, UPS
“This is not just another book on brand. This is the ONLY book you’ll need to read in business, engineering, and design school.” —Clement Mok, design entrepreneur
“A well-managed brand is the lifeblood of any successful company—and Neumeier shows us exactly how to do it. Read this book before your competitors do!” —Tom Kelley, general manager of IDEO, co-author of THE ART OF INNOVATION
“THE BRAND GAP couldn’t be more timely. Just when we’re at our most skeptical about corporate motives, along comes a book that shows how to evaluate and develop a brand in a straightforward and honest manner.” —David Stuart, co-founder of The Partners, co-author of A SMILE IN THE MIND
“Must-reading for anyone who wants to understand how their business strategy will succeed or fail when put to the ultimate test: ‘Do customers perceive a difference that’s desirable?’” —Steve Harrington, director of strategy and operations, Hewlett-Packard
“The book slices like a hot knife through all the turgid, pseudo-academic nonsense that surrounds branding. It’s now on the course list for my graduate students, and new members of my team at Ogilvy get a copy with their training materials.” —Brian Collins, executive creative director, Ogilvy & Mather Worldwide
Rating:
- Solid book with interesting delivery
I enjoyed the way Brand Gap was written. It is a quick read with some insightful information. Two week after finishing it I'm not left with any earth shattering revelations about marketing, but it did make me think about things a little differently. A solid bathroom read. Good format for it.
Rating:
- Good Book for Entrepreneurial Graphic Designers
Good, quick read for creatives who have a business knack. It is a great reference tool for small and medium businesses or for multinational companies. Well done and easy to digest.
Cheers,
Ivan

Rating:
- Mixed...
This book feels a wee bit dated (it's been a couple of years since I've read the phrase "World Wide Web). It seems to dance all over the place, and did not offer any particularly unique ideas. Feels like it's cheating a bit with the big text.
It might be of interest to individuals who want a good overview of branding. May be too simplistic for individuals in the marketing, advertising, or design.
Rating: - best ever
every person in marketing should read this book (several times).
actually, EVERYBODY should read this book--whether they are in marketing or not--because, essentially we're ALL in marketing.
buy the book now, maybe buy two, so you can give one to a friend.
Rating: - Must read if you are in advertising!
I'm an Acount Executive in the online advertising industry and I must say, the knowledge I gathered from this book is priceless. I recommend it to e verybody who is in adverting or has anything to do with marketing.
