The 360 Degree Brand in Asia decribes Ogilvy's proven sucess in helping both Asia-based to achieve greater success through its model of 360 Degree Brand Stewardship. This practical book offers valuable advice by taking a holitic look at communications and applying the necessary guidelines from each discipline to build a stronger and more profitable brand.

With 30 years, experience in the the Asian marketplace between them, the authors argee that the old, often derided concept of "intergration" should be given new life, and the long accepted, but little understood concepts of "loyalty" and "influence" be given special prominence in Asia. In addition, new concepts such as "brand challenge", "interplay" and "contextual creativity" are introduced as a way of illustrating how the idea becomes central to all thinking and action on behalf of the brand.

360 Degree branding is not for the faint hearted. An organization must embrace the thinking and overcome the practical difficulties in order to create the collaborative partnerships required to make it a reality. This unique book does not simply present a rosty philosophy, but it tackles many of the tough practical issues that make something that seems inherently simple, so hard to implement.

Supported by a wealth of impressive results-driven case studies including those from American Express, IBM Cerebos and Nestle. The 360 Degree Brand in Asia is a compelling manifesto for companies and agencies which want to build successful and more profitable brands in this region.
