A natural companion to Matt Haig's bestselling Brand Failures, Brand Royalty is a comprehensive collection of successful brand stories. Entertaining and thought-provoking, it helps readers identify the factors behind each success. Haig devised a list of the world's 100 most successful brands, using such criteria as financial success, longevity and innovativeness. His list covers companies as varied as Adidas, "the performance brand," and Coca-Cola, "the ultimate brand" and everything in between, providing invaluable insight into the branding efforts of Ford, IKEA, Gucci and Ben & Jerry's. Includes comments from consumers, psychologists, ad executives, academics and business owners.
