I am thrilled to endorse Lydia Michael's book, Brand Love. It is an absolute must-read for anyone who wants to build strong, lasting emotional connections with their consumers. I found the book to be a valuable resource that provides a framework for continuous human-centric brand evolution, while also considering cultures and customer values as key elements of the equation. Michael's writing style and tone are some of my favorite aspects of the book. She is a multicultural marketing thought leader, global citizen and expert consumer who weaves her professional expertise with personal experiences alongside the latest research and compelling case studies, offering a perspective that is highly relatable, relevant and exciting. What sets Brand Love apart is how Michael's own expertise and passion in the subject took me on my own personal journey of falling in love with the book. With each stage of the Eight Brand Love Stages, my desire to implement these strategies grew. Overall, I highly recommend Brand Love to seasoned and up-and-coming marketers alike. It's a powerful and insightful book that will breathe new life into the way you think about engaging consumers through emotionally-driven strategies!
