Book is a bit dated when i read it, and i won't take a star for that.
Many of the principles and ideas are still relevant today. It got my brain juices flowing. There are dome solid marketing ideas in here from my perspective. It also helps to differentiate between marketing, promotion and publicity etc...
The beginning of the book started really strong! I was amazed by the information it gave. Yet, after you got further in the book it was seemingly outdated. It was published in 2001, so a lot of the branding techniques and marketing aspects were in that time. Not a lot of it can still be related to today but it was still a pretty decent read.
