B2B Brand Management

As B2B solutions continue to advance, industrial companies are embracing branding to differentiate themselves and generate preference for their offers. While branding has been crucial to the success of renowned consumer goods like Coca-Cola, McDonald‘s, and Mercedes-Benz, it‘s time for more industrial companies to systematically enhance their brand management strategies. Industrial pioneers such as Caterpillar, DuPont, GE, and Siemens have paved the way, demonstrating that effective branding goes beyond assigning names to products or services. It entails a commitment to delivering the level of performance associated with the company‘s offerings—a brand promise that fuels all organizational activities and collaborations with partners. This book‘s second edition builds upon the conceptual framework, exploring transformative performance marketing and Artificial Intelligence to elevate B2B brand management. By integrating theoretical aspects of H2H (Human-to-Human) marketing, service-dominant logic, thinking, and digitalization, it deepens the understanding of branding for industrial products. Featuring dozens of real-world examples, this book illustrates how successful branding can propel industrial companies to new heights. Readers can expect to gain actionable insights and a comprehensive understanding of the evolving landscape of B2B brand management, enabling them to propel their industrial branding to the next level.
