8 <strong>Brand</strong> failures<br />

without trace are clear contenders. However, the book will also look at<br />

acknowledged brand mistakes made by usually successful companies such as<br />

Virgin, McDonald’s, IBM, Coca-Cola, General Motors and many others.<br />

Welcome, then, to the brand graveyard where companies have either put<br />

their flagging brand to rest or have allowed it to stagger around with no<br />

direction in a state of limbo. While these branding ‘horror stories’ may<br />

suggest that failure is inevitable, their example has helped to identify the key<br />

danger areas. It is hoped then, that this book will provide an illuminating, if<br />

rather frightening read.<br />

Don’t have nightmares.
