    1% of your brand is made up of intent. Those are your marketing, pr, and customer service initiatives.
    The other 99% of your brand is made up of your customers’ perception which includes their experience, sharing that experience with others, and their interest in engaging with you based on their experience or the experience of their influencers.
    So, you know those meetings about how to control your brand? You don’t control it, you can only hope to steer it through a better course than your competitors.
    That being said, this makes a great effort to working with the 1% you have some say in.

    I was really impressed with this e-book. People have a difficult time understanding how all-encompassing branding really is, and they don’t know what questions to ask to get the services they need. It’s a great tool for anyone creating or revitalizing a brand.

    In a fake world where the market demands real world deliverables, it’s a must that brand evangelists understand brand methodology and how to implement brands internally and externally.

    This is a powerful e-book for all brand managers.

    Before you spend a single dollar on B2B branding services, spend an hour reading this book first. It contains the knowledge, framework and tools you need to succeed.

  • Alex Conde

    In this book, Axle has created something that can empower the reader while not overloading them.

    More importantly, this book teaches you to ask questions that can help you avoid the problems that have sunk many great brand concepts.

    Well written and well worth the time to read it.

    I especially appreciate Axle’s advice to avoid any so-called brand experts who use terms you don’t understand. There is a precise language of branding, and we would all be better off if it were used more often with fewer “proprietary” terms.

  • http://blog.trumpetinteractive.com/ Joseph Hurtado

    Brands are much more than a pretty logo. They are the soul of a business, the unwritten promise that keeps delivering value to people.

    Axle does a good job to show that, in a fun, quick format that takes minutes to read. Good job!
