Combine insights from cognitive psychology, social psychology and neuroscience to reveal why we trust some brands more than others, and why some survive crises while others don't.
Why do we trust some brands more than others? How important is integrity for a brand's survival? How can brand confidence be rebuilt during a crisis? Using both new and classic insights from social psychology, cognitive psychology and neuroscience, Brand Psychology reveals the hidden processes behind why certain brands command our loyalty, trust and - most importantly - disposable income. Reputation management authority Jonathan Gabay takes readers on a tour of the corporate, political, and personal brands whose understanding of consumer psychology has either built or broken them.
Suitable for marketing, branding and PR professionals, reputation management specialists and students, Brand Psychology takes examples from e-cigarette legislation, the iPhone 5S's fingerprint ID technology, Barclays' branded bikes and the London 2012 Olympics, Miley Cyrus and the UK National Health Service's big data to reveal how to build a meaningful brand that resonates with the public.
Combines practical 'how to' advice in areas such as media relationships, crisis management and more with an exploration of reputation psychology and consumer motivation
Provides tools and techniques to internally and externally deal with a crisis situation that affects a brand's reputation
Presents a robust vision for modern brand reputation strategy
