“A brand strategy is the ultimate business strategy and often the least understood.” And, her favorite quotes about brand equity are:
• “Products are made in the factory, but brands are created in the mind.” – Walter Landor
• “A brand is a living entity –and it is enriched or undermined cumulatively over time, the product of a thousand small gestures.” – Michael Eisner, former CEO of Disney
• “If this business were split up, I would give you the land and bricks and mortar, and I would take the brands and trademarks, and I would fare better than you.” – John Stuart, former CEO of Quaker Oats
