Summary

This audiobook provides evidence-based answers to the key questions asked by marketers every day. Tackling issues such as how brands grow, how advertising really works, what price promotions really do and how loyalty programs really affect loyalty, How Brands Grow presents decades of research in a style that is written for marketing professionals to grow their brands.

It is the first audiobook to present these laws in context and to explore their meaning and application. The most distinctive element to this audiobook is that the laws presented are tried and tested; they have been found to hold over varied conditions, time and countries. This is contrary to most marketing texts and indeed, much information provides evidence that much modern marketing theory is far from soundly based.

the facts

Still learning here, but it's good to have the data and facts in a world where bullshit rules.

Insightful content / robotic narration

Who might you have cast as narrator instead of Daniel May?

Byron Sharp

Any additional comments?

The awful narration of this book makes it a challenging listening experience. To make sense of some of the content, it is important to get a copy of the downloadable pdf as many charts are referenced throughout.

Good book very poor narration

Unfortunately the very "automaton" narration detracts considerably from this audio book. I think the underlying book is quite good but overall I cannot recommend this audio book.

very well considered book

this should be a must read for anyone working in the industry of building brands. The author uses data to dispell unhealthy myths and gives suggestions on what is actually needed to grow a brand.

Great scientific approach to Marketing

As someone who is cynical of the effectiveness of marketing, this book is brilliant for explaining/proving what does/does not work

Thought provoking. Audible may not be best medium

Brilliant content and thought provoking but requires a lot of referring to the downloadable PDF. Worth the read but may be better as a physical book to truly learn from.

Interesting but repetitive

The theories expressed are interesting even to a non-marketer, and are well explained.

In general it is extremely repetitive and makes the same points over and over just in different ways ... maybe an implementation of sharp's own marketing recommendations!

I'd probably just find a summary online and read that instead.

Very Hard to get into

This book is more for the number crunchers.. not really creative types hoping to grow their business,.. more for understanding the bigger companies. Also, the voice was very impersonal.. monotonous sounding, very easy to mentally switch off.
