Carolina Rogoll's new book, Star Brands: A Brand Manager's Guide to Build, Manage & Market Brands is a great resource for anyone seeking structured guidance on creating a brand plan.
Rogoll presents a five-step practical guide on taking a business and brand from conception... to realization... to success.
I like her five points - They are very similar to the 4 M's of Marketing that I use. I would combine point 3 and 4 (Crafting a Communication Strategy and Establishing a Marketing Strategy) into a single point, but a 4 sided star looks a lot more like a rectangle!! So I completely understand why she separates the two.
I also like that she uses case studies from famous brands, such as Harley Davidson and MasterCard, and interviews withbusiness school professors, advertising agency leaders and former CEOs.
Star Brands is a practical book that business professionals and entrepreneurs can use as their own brand building "workbook."
