ABOUT THE BOOK

A LOOK INSIDE

SHARE QUOTES FROM THE BOOK

“Design will set your offering apart to look, feel, and sound like a brand at the time of launch, as opposed to something that might or might not have the power to eventually turn into a brand.”

– Excerpt from the book How to Launch a Brand

“The word 'brand' needs a re-branding–due to its brand longevity the brand legacy is not brand-correct anymore.”

– Excerpt from the book How to Launch a Brand

“A Brand Platform is a layered and interconnected web held together by a core of company values.”

– Excerpt from the book How to Launch a Brand

“Too often, new brands rush to create a company name and visual identity before having a firm Brand Platform in place, essentially putting a beautifully designed cart miles before the horse.”

– Excerpt from the book How to Launch a Brand

“If you're working on an app for toddlers, spend a day crawling around with them. There is no better way to gain insight into your audience than by spending ample time with them.”

– Excerpt from the book How to Launch a Brand

“When people ask you what your company name means (and they will), make sure it comes with a good story to back it up.”

– Excerpt from the book How to Launch a Brand

“Be mindful of how your brand mark reflects the core principles of your Brand Platform. Your design doesn't have to capture the entire story of your brand, but it should represent a unified idea about the purpose of your brand.”

– Excerpt from the book How to Launch a Brand

“Analyze the Brand Atmosphere–the visual 'aura'–of your top three (future) competitors and write down how you can innovate through design in your industry.”

– Excerpt from the book How to Launch a Brand
