Never predict the future ....

This 22 immutable laws of Branding is painfully dated, the examples given to prove the authors points have often been superseded by a completely different turn of events. This destroys or at least undermines the credibility of the material.
There are nuggets of insight and it is an introduction to the world of branding but on balance I really wouldn't waste your time trawling through this, dated and irritating and often embarrassingly wrong book.
Sorry to be negative but I really cannot recommend.... Disappointing.

Laws 10/10

The main body gets 10/10 but the last two chapters on the Internet are out dated. Still an excellent listen

They should update this book, this issue is 12 yrs old

Mostly very relevant and good advice even though it’s outdated. They should really update it as they make predictions on things that have already happened.
They predicted most things right, some things wrong eg they predicted doom and gloom to Amazon for widening its product range.
They seem to have an issue with Miller beer 😅

Half of this book is brand names listed.

Very annoying to listen as an audiobook, you can't jump over the long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long list of brand names.

It was written in 2002

Now I have a bad score because it is mostly wrong. Many suggestion are correct but most mowing what happen in the 20 years after are absolute misconceptions of the past.
It interesting to see how people were wrong and how everything changed in the other direction.

Outdated

Some good points but examples are too outdated and his predictions turn out wrong, ultimately making the rest of the points hard to believe.

Outdated (re 22 laws online branding)

I'm not sure if the author mentioned Google once in the second half of the book and referred to Yahoo as the biggest search engine which I'm not sure has been true for many years, the book was published early 2000s though. However, it is still a great book otherwise. I look forward to the next edition.

If you building a brand, well worth it!

If you building a brand, well worth to read/listen to it once. Lots of eye opening golden nuggets, especialy about what we call now "Riches are in the Niches".

Book requires updating. Most predictions was right but many not. Especially about amazon.com I wish I had a copy of this book back in 1998.
