Recenzje

"There are only a few people on the planet that can combine the academic knowledge and practical insights of Mike Beverland. His new book offers invaluable insights on branding and should be a must-buy for those in the know. In fact it will almost certainly become the authentic guide to brand authenticity". - Mark Ritson, Associate Professor, Melbourne Business School

Beverland demonstrates brilliantly that authentic brands are built on the paradox between traditional craft skills and break-through

innovations. 'Building Brand Authenticity' makes a powerful argument for rejecting a focus on brand image and instead returning to a love of craft and the devotion of dedicated employees.' - Professor Richard Elliott, Dean, School of Management, University of Bath
