Branding is not just the prerogative of marketing people anymore. It is the responsibility of every functional area of a corporate organization. When everyone in the organization gets the idea on which the brand is based, they can genuinely "be the brand". The book demystifies the branding process with the assistance of interesting examples. The focus of the book is on how to make a brand successful through simple ideas. Simple, that is what the book talks about. The author in the book says that brands with simple ideas succeed and there are two reasons to it: first, we live in an information rich world. Make something too complicated to understand and we will turn off the receptors.

An idea must be a simple one if there is any chance of achieving organizational understanding, acceptance and implementation.

The one common lesson to all of the brands the author has worked with is for a brand to be successful it must differentiate itself from the competition in the minds of consumers and this difference must be relevant. More important, whatever it is that makes it different and relevant must be simple to understand - to both the people inside the brand organization and the people outside. This book is about getting to a simple idea and executing that idea; as the author quotes Shakespeare "Brevity is the soul of wit".
