Branded

Résumé du livre

What would people think of me if I drove a Mercedes? Am I more Gucci than Adidas? Is this the right time to drink a Coke? Our brand choices say a great deal about us as individuals. Through a series of snapshots on the products or advertisements of key companies such as Coca-Cola, Levi's and McDonalds, Branded? focuses on the links between brands and consumer behaviour, decoding hidden messages and analysing marketing strategies. Brands are grouped by their key characteristics- some promising authenticity and reliability, others offering technological empowerment or luxurious lifestyles. Brands and their meanings--formed as much by consumers as they are by product designers of marketing directors--are also shown in a global context, forming a common language which is subtly adapted to suit local tastes and aspirations.
