About the author

Alina Wheeler engages enterprises in a dynamic process to build their brands and embrace best practices. Wheeler inspires the whole branding team to seize every opportunity to design compelling customer experiences at every touchpoint. Designing Brand Identity, now in its fifth edition, is the first book to deconstruct the branding process into a universal, five-phase methodology. Her signature mantra is "Who are you? Who needs to know? Why should they care? How will they find out?" Designing Brand Identity demystifies branding and gives practitioners a roadmap to create sustainable and successful brands. It is published in 7 languages, and is used by clients and their branding and design firms to educate their staffs.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I always try to learn others' processes to better my understanding of approaches, thinking, etc., and I had apprehensions about this book despite the positive reviews.
This is probably the first book ever purchased I wanted to return within 5 minutes of reading. It's also the first book I've had to leave a negative/any review.
There's no substance to the chapters, just lists of key terms relevant to the cycle of the brand strategy process. The main content of the book is material pulled from outside sources rather the author, and quotes to supplement the dictionary-esque copy in the book.
For example, in "Process: conducting research" - "Clarify vision, strategies, goals, and values" — how? What's the actual process to clarify strategy?
For those looking to add a resource about brand strategy, especially those new to the subject, you'll be better off using Google than this book.
Top reviews from other countries
"Designing Brand Identity", has nothing to do with designing. It should be called "Defining brand identity" and should be used by people who want an overall understanding of what brand identity is. Lecturers may find it useful if they just want their students to sit there and listen to them waffle about branding for 4 hours.
