Description
Book SynopsisWritten from the global brand frontline, we see the previously unseen perspective on what it was really like to build "Dirt is Good" for Omo and Persil globally - a celebrated case-study in creating global brands with an idea at their very core. We see the real trials, challenges and successes which confront international marketers the world over, told in a very personal and engaging real-time adventure. Each of the 10 chapters tells the real-life story of each stage of the journey. At the end of each stage, we see a sharp summary of the real, practical learnings.
Trade Review"A thoroughly inspiring must-read for all brand leaders - from the man that made it happen. A very different and most welcome addition for all ambitious marketers" - Ralph Kugler, former Global President, Unilever Home and Personal Care and Main Board Member. "One of the great brand stories of our time. You can feel the difference of someone who has really lived this as opposed to being a mere brand commentator. At BBH we always wished we could claim we had given birth to it. David can. Respect" - Nick Kendall, Group Strategy Director, Bartle Bogle Hegarty. "A testimony to the power of the idea. From re-birthing a brand in a notoriously competitive category...to congregating internal barons globally" - Theo Rodrigues, former Global Senior Vice President, Laundry, Unilever.
