Lovemarks is the product of the fertile-iconoclast mind of Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide of Saatchi & Saatchi. Roberts argues vociferously, and with a ton of data to support him, that traditional branding practices have become stultified. What’s needed are customer Love affairs. Roberts lays out his grand scheme for mystery, magic, sensuality, and the like in his gloriously designed book Lovemarks.” —Tom Peters
Tom Peters, one of the most influential business thinkers of all time, described the first edition of Lovemarks: the future beyond brands as “brilliant.” He also announced it as the “Best Business Book” published in the first five years of this century. Now translated into fourteen languages, with more than 150,000 copies in print, Lovemarks is back in a revised edition featuring a new chapter on the peculiarly human experience of shopping.
The new chapter, "Diamonds in the Mine," is an insightful collection of ideas for producers and consumers, for owners of small stores and operators of superstores. So forget making lists! Shopping, says Kevin Roberts, is an emotional event. With this as a starting point, he looks at the history of shopping and how it has changed so dramatically over the last ten years. Using the Lovemark elements of Mystery, Sensuality, and Intimacy, Roberts delves into the secrets of success that can be used to create the ultimate shopping experience. | | | |

Lovemarks - Kevin Roberts Jun 16, 2009
By Joel Warady Roberts is the CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi, one of the world's largest advertising agencies. Keep that in mind as you read the book because the author uses many of his agency's clients as his examples of brands that evoke emotion. Even with the self-promoting, there are some great messages within this book. The message throughout is that for brands to grow, people need to fall in love with the brands. Not like the brands, LOVE the brands and products. As I write this review, the Chicago White Sox are in the American League Division playoffs. Why do I tell you this? Because no matter what happens with the White Sox, the fact of the matter is that Chicago will always LOVE the Cubs, and they will really, really like the White Sox. And because of this, the Cubs will always draw more fans than the White Sox. Here is one of my favorite take aways from the book; "Human beings are powered by emotion, not by reason." Brands need to generate emotions, and the more the brand is loved, the longer life it will have. Let's face it, a lot of people love Starbucks, but there is no rational reason to spend $2.00 for a cup of black coffee. It is the emotion that sustains Starbucks.

Brilliant Packaging but Not New! Jan 23, 2007
By Baris Ozaydinli I have met Kevin Roberts and had a chance to chat with him about the "Lovemark" concept when he was giving a speech in Istanbul. I think he is a colorful and brilliant individual who has managed to package some great marketing principles that age back to Bernbach into a great new concept. Though many principles in the book are not fresh to those who are not a novice in marketing literature, I think the term "Lovemark" is brilliant in itself. The design of the book is great with lots of colorful pictures and helpful examples. You sometimes feel that many of the examples are overused and the book is self serving, but it is worth to spend some time with the Lovemark concept.
I have seen an interview with Kevin in Ad Age about how they launched this book to recruit new business into their agency. I think it is a great new business tool and brilliant strategy to lure customers to their shop. I personally think "the HOW" part is missing, how are you going to make your brand into a Lovemark remains a question.
If you are interested in entering into the hearts of customers not just their wallets, you should definetly lend an ear to Kevin.

Would you pay for an advertising flyer? May 12, 2007
By Research Freak
"RF"
Well, you will if you buy this book! If you're in the industry there's nothing in this book you don't already know! If you're not in the ad industry, then by all means, go ahead and buy it so you can see how clever it is to publish a self-serving eye candy full of propaganda for Saatchi and Saatchi and Kevin Roberts concealed as a book about branding!

Inspiring Jul 08, 2004
By Grant This book is inspired. And it's NOT just for 'ad-folk' (they're a dying breed), but anyone who appreciates how much influence the advertising world has on popular culture. Love and Business in one breath? It's a simple premise, but super-powerful. Just see how beautifully the examples in this book elucidate the idea, taking it beyond ideology to reality. If you want a how-to manual, look elsewhere. Lovemarks is for big-picture people with imagination and savvy, who aren't bogged down in cynicism, and who aren't afraid to take a leap. Lovemarks make a difference. They are the future. If you're anywhere near business, you'd better wake up and smell em.
