In this thorough investigation of brand strength in the accelerated modern business world, Nigel Hollis draws on his experience at Millward Brown to present a simple formula for determining brand strength based on two axes, Presence (or familiarity) and Voltage (or marketing appeal), to illustrate the market value and performance of brands. He analyzes the five steps of customer commitment to a strong brand--Presence, Relevance, Performance, Advantage, and Bonding. Finally, Hollis emphasizes human nature as a set of constant core values that all brands should appeal to, and analyzes the future of brand-building as a profitable investment.

Sound advice for global marketers Nov 21, 2008
By Mario Sanchez Carrion
As a marketing executive in the international branch of a Fortune 500 company I can really relate to the concepts outlined in this comprehensive and well researched book. In a way, I felt that the author was preaching to the choir.
Mr. Hollis shows us how the most successful global companies are those that have found a balance between their desire to achieve economies of scale, and their willingness to adapt their products to local cultures, tastes and habits.
He gives us the successful example of McDonald's, a brand positioned as "fast, low cost food" in the US, but considered more upscale in other countries by people who identify themselves with the West and the American way of life. These differences have prompted the addition of value added services like home delivery, and the creation of concepts like McCafe.
The book also dispels some common business myths like the "first mover advantage", which is not necessarily true in the global scene, and the notion that consumers in developing countries just care about price (when in fact they place more importance on brands than their counterparts in developed countries).
Mr. Hollis finishes his book with some specific tips on how to align organization and resources so that corporations can position their brands for global success.
I recommend this book to anybody who is interested or involved in building brands, and wouldn't hesitate to call it a must-read for all those in charge of leading organizations and brands in their quest for international growth.

A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but a brand by another name won't sell nearly as well.

Laying out the many challenges face and looking at some success and failure stories in today's world, "The Global Brand" is a must for anyone who wants to be an expert at crafting a brand for their business.

Insightful, informative and an 'easy read' Oct 10, 2008
By Catherine Bury
Not only was this book insightful and informative, but it was also easier to read than many of the industry text books that you have to wade through. Highly recommended for anyone looking for examples of how brands have become successful and stayed successful on a global basis.

An excellent read Oct 10, 2008
By Norma B. Collier
This book is both insightful and informative. It is a great resource for marketers and definitely more readable than the average business book.
The author, who is clearly very accomplished, reminds us that the key to global success is to win locally.
