An Ingredient Brand is exactly what the name implies: an ingredient or component of a product that has its own brand identity. This is the first comprehensive book that explains how Ingredient Branding works and how brand managers can successfully improve the performance of component marketing.
The authors have examined more than one hundred examples, analyzed four industries and developed nine detailed case studies to demonstrate the viability of this marketing innovation. The new concepts and principles can easily be applied by professionals. In the light of the success stories of Intel, GoreTex, Dolby, TetraPak, Shimano, and Teflon it can be expected that component suppliers will increasingly use Ingredient Branding strategies in the future.
Ingredient Branding by Kotler and Pfoertsch is the most thorough and complete analysis of ingredient branding one could ever hope for in a single source—a virtual encyclopedia on InBranding. Replete with insightful case studies of companies from a variety of industries that have successfully transformed their traditional brands into powerful new InBrands, and have launched entirely new products and services employing InBranding. Ingredient Branding should be top on the list for all CMOs to read whose companies’ "live or die" based upon the success of their brands.
