O značkách

by Wally Olins, Hana Loupová (Translator)

Obchodní značka se stala ve 20. století fenoménem a zůstává jím i nadále. Pro řadu zákazníků je vodítkem při nákupech, pro řadu aktivistů symbolem vydřidušství a roztahovačnosti globálního kapitálu. Wally Olins bez emocí vysvětluje, jak a proč značky vůbec vznikly, jak sloužily a slouží svým majitelům i zákazníkům, a jak se mění jejich užívání a fungování v globalizovaném světě. Svůj výklad doprovází konkrétními příklady, takže je srozumitelný i laikovi, ale stejně tak je i užitečný všem, kdo se značkou pracují nebo pracovat chtějí.

Interesting book for absolute beginners , loaded with stories about adiddas, coca cola and caterpillar.

Too basic. Jako vyprávění pro děcka o reklamě supr, ale pro mě moc rozvláčné, obecné, a ne zas tak dobrý styl psaní, aby mě to bavilo i jen tak.

[Mike Bell · Rating 3 out of 5]

Really more a biography of Ollins than a branding instruction. Very verbose and lots of stories.

[Ana Mendes · Rating 2 out of 5]

A book for begginers searching for a bit of context and examples.

I respect the work and (current) leadership of Wolff Olins, and have enjoyed previous writings by Wally Olins. This however was a disappointment. It was just very elementary and focuses on case studies and history. I suppose I was expecting a more in depth and advanced thread into the mind of Wally Olins.
That said this is a very good read to those who wish a broad introduction to the roots of branding.

as enlightening as no logo, or dfw on advertising,... and this from the inside... it's like being in the other team's locker room... olins is the kind of brith who's intellectual, thorough-going and skeptical. And seductive. by the middle of the book, I was consumed with the problem of how best to market a brand... and how the good guys ought to get much better at it... and howcome project (RED) wasn't bigger? were the clothes just not cool enough?

I first met Wally Olins in the mid-90's when he visited the U.S. and Atlanta and had just written his first book about I.D. and he told me then he drew much of his inspiration from philosophy and when you read his book 'On Brand it will be extremely relevant to you that is so true. His ideals about brand being just-- as he suggests, consumer decisions about brands are as emotional as any of the other many important decisions in our lives.

I loved this book, because it is written in a easy-to-read-and understand manner. For all folks, who is desperate to review their knowledge of branding basis. It is also really interesting to read about european history of branding, which is different from the american one. And I am a big fan of all Wally Olins works and books.

Acabei por não concluir a leitura deste livro porque além de o ter entregue à biblioteca, os dados estavam muito desatualizados para o livro que era - sendo um livro sobre marcas, convinha que falasse sobre a atualidade.
No entanto, a parte da história das marcas que li era muito interessante.

Muito bom para ler! Adorei a escrita e só fiquei com pena de já ter pegado nele só agora, visto que muito já mudou. No entanto lê-se bem, é instrutivo e critico acerca do branding. Também gostei do cunho pessoal porque acho muito relevante para este tema.

Expected much more deeper insight, however it's a well written introduction to branding with great case studies.

A great book on the concise development of Graphic Design and branding through the twentieth century.
