The Future-Ready Brand: How the World's Most Influential CMOS Are Navigating Societal Forces and Emerging Technologies
In his 2019 book, The Indispensable Brand, Mitch Duckler took major brands to task for the "identity crisis" they faced with so many of them indistinguishable from one another, failing at arguably the most important job of brand management--differentiation.
