ABOUT THE BOOK

A LOOK INSIDE

SHARE QUOTES FROM THE BOOK

“A new wave of commodity brands is winning hearts and is teaching us how to turn any product into an admired brand.”

– Excerpt from the book Bigger Than This

“For the first time in history, it is more difficult for big brands to gain unconditional consumer trust than it is for a startup brand.”

– Excerpt from the book Bigger Than This

“As a startup brand, though, consistently providing small but thoughtful delights can be the one thing to set your brand apart from your competitors’ offering of the same product or service.”

– Excerpt from the book Bigger Than This

“It occurred to me that the latest wave of brands we love is not leading through disruption and/or innovation. These brands are actually launching with nothing other than a commodity product – with nearly instant brand advocates and huge scale to follow.”

– Excerpt from the book Bigger Than This

“If you are in a space known for opacity and complexity, transparency can go quite a long way with your audience.”

– Excerpt from the book Bigger Than This

You are searching for the AND?DNA, the underlying DNA of your brand story, which all starts by asking, “What is bigger than this?”

Essential reading for any entrepreneur for sure. Read this book!
Kara Goldin, Founder & CEO, hint water, 6/27/21, Amazon
Simply put: Insightful and actionable. This book is a must, not just for the C-suite, but for any business owner, regardless of size or industry. If you're looking for an easy read that encapsulates all the key branding lessons you need to take your brand identity to the next level, look no further.
Vincent Pezzulo, 1/14/21, Amazon
Such a great book on Branding. Not only talks about the branding business but how being a guide to your clients, and how important being transparent with your clients about their brands. The importance of having an emotional connection with clients, brands and your audience.
Erick, 12/30/20, Amazon
You will find the essentials for brands, of course, and what is more, for life - me meeting you = two brands meet, in fact. Take advantage of Fabian Geyrhalter's rule of thumb (page 32): 'My rule of thumb: Alienate most to create a tribe of a few. Your brand is not for everyone. Focus on the perfect few, the ones you really need to fall in love with your brand. Create controversy.' Great advice for business and life :). I am reading it over and over, always enriched for my day. Five points out of five!
