The Lean Brand book cover
“A Brand is the relationship between an organization and an audience.”Not the butterfly-in-your-stomach type. The real and powerful relationship formed between an organization and people. Products create functional-value. Brands create emotional-value through the human connections they facilitate.
Marty Neumeier

"Gardner grabs hold of brand and gives it a good yank, redefining it as the relationship between an organization and its audience. If you appreciate the principles of lean management, read this provocative book."

Randy Hunt

"The problem with most approaches to branding is that they get in their own way. They've managed to make the work of managing and building brands more opaque, more complicated, and less accessible. The Lean Brand takes the opposite approach: a manageable and understandable set of concepts, tools, and methodologies to make informed brand decisions."

"Branding is the last bastion of old school, unaccountable marketing practices. But no more. The Lean Brand brings branding into our new world of value-creation, meaningful relationships with customers, and data-informed marketing decisions."
