Rate this book
A cross between a business book and a storybook, How Coca-Cola Took Over the World is a collection of 101 accessible, enjoyable and informative tales of some of the world's greatest brands, including Tiffany's, Mercedes, Apple, Pinterest, Chanel No. 5, Corona, Brewdog, Spanx, LG, KFC, WWF, Guinness World Records and Coca-Cola. The stories are arranged into sections covering brand origins, brand naming and identity, marketing strategy, communication, innovation and repositioning and renovation. For each story, the author has drawn a moral - a marketing principle that can be applied to many brand and marketing challenges facing businesses today. When pulled together as they are by the author in the final chapter, they provide the reader with a compelling and inspirational toolbox.

Interesting and engaging collection of brand stories and origins across the ages in a digestible, bite-sized format. Easy to pick up and continue from wherever you left off, and categorised into different aspects of the branding world, such as marketing strategy, communications and advertising etc. Good introduction for anyone interested in branding on a personal or professional level!

Есть интересные истории, которые не слышал до этого, так же приятно узнавать бренды, которыми пользуешься сам. Выводы автора не всегда понятны и не собраны в какую-то систему, просто информационный сборник баек, но баек местами занимательных

Очень бессмысленное чтение. Короткие истории и факты о крупных брендах, не понятно, зачем книга написана. Развлечь?

Интересная развлекательная книга с короткими иногда поучительными, иногда просто милыми историями о создании знаменитых брендов. Забавно прочитать для общего развития.

Очень интересная книга с небольшими историями о больших брендах, плюс в конце каждой главы хорошие вопросы «на подумать». Можно много идей подчерпнуть для себя и своего бизнеса/бренда
