More than a simple branding book -- high impact

In a world on edge -- now comes a book deceptively simple, a personal conversation about branding. Brandscendence's meta-message: only the brand stands. In a hyper-world, the "code" of select brands live, endure and beckon us forward. Interestingly, Brandscendence can be read as a decoder. Why do certain activities in brands lift organizations to new futures? How can one person use it as a blueprint to maximize personal impact? More intriguing, as snap-communicating and globalizing speed crucial, global decisions: what if Kevin Clark's clean observations are tools internalized not just by marketers, but also by long-term thinkers and brand-makers in government, religion, business, politics, public service, education, entertainment? CREATING positive brandscendences in any of those areas could lift where 6 billion of us arrive in the poly-possible future.
