Global Brand Power – Leveraging Branding for Long–Term Growth

“Regardless of your industry, building a brand is synonymous today with building a company and a thriving business. As Barbara Kahn points out in Global Brand Power, the key is to begin and end every discussion thinking about what is right for the customer. At Macy's, Inc., we saw a dramatic improvement in business trends when we reorganized our business model and consciously put the customer at the center of all decisions. The principles presented in Global Brand Power can benefit every business leader.”
—Terry J. Lundgren, chairman, president, CEO and Chief Customer Officer, Macy's, Inc.

“Great global brands have to be built and don’t happen by chance. Barbara Kahn explores and develops the relationship between customer and brands and how to achieve international loyalty. I learned new information from reading this book.”

“In our fast-changing world, visionary business leaders must build a brand flexible enough to grab key opportunities and strong enough to weather any storm. Barbara Kahn’s Global Brand Power is a superb must-read for those who want to do just that and position their brands for long-term, global growth.”
