Brand Love

Get your copy

Over 90% of purchase decisions are driven by emotion, not logic. That’s why the most impactful brands and organizations speak to both the heart and the mind.

In this book, Lydia Michael, founder of Blended Collective, breaks down the process of building strong customer-brand relationships, and how to achieve brand trust and loyalty.

"There are many books about marketing, but Brand Love is unique. It not only puts on a pedestal the importance of emotional engagement in brand building, but it does so by emphasizing the critical need of addressing the multicultural perspective when doing so. With the world becoming more diverse every day, that is now an imperative for brand growth. And I love all the practical examples!"

Bill Duggan, Group EVP, Association of National Advertisers (ANA)

"What I love most about this book is its real world, global examples that make the concepts easy to follow."

Dionne Vaz, Senior Director Global Marketing, CoinDesk

"Lydia Michael has given us a fresh take on a topic that can easily become a marketing cliché: ‘brand love.’ Combining insights into emotional and rational drivers, she offers a framework for building brand connections that last."

Steve Keller, Sonic Strategic Director, Studio Resonate, SXM Media

"If you want your brand to be loved, this book gets to the heart of the matter and shows you just how to do it."

Christophe Folschette, Founder & Chief Strategy Officer, Talkwalker

"Brand Love is not only an informative how-to, but it is substantive in its delivery on the importance of building a brand that resonates with customers. This book is a must-have guide for any marketing and brand professional."

Shikha Jain, Partner, Simon-Kucher

"I appreciate the push to utilize all five senses when connecting with customers and the emotional ties that form as a result."

Kevin Peterson, Co-founder, Cocktail Scientist and Nose, Sfumato Fragrances
