The chapters in this book add recent perspectives and evidence on many factors that shape brand love (including the need to compensate for loneliness), and many outcomes that it determines, varying in intensity and character over time. And all of this new research gets nicely organized into an overarching framework, with detail added on how practitioners are putting the brand love construct into real-world use. Clearly a volume that must be read by everyone with any interest in this domain.

Big brands play a powerful role in driving consumers’ purchases and investments, and even their self-esteem and social affiliations.  They do so by eliciting powerful emotions like ‘love’ and ‘passion’ from their fans.  Consumer Brand Relationships is a timely and thoughtful compilation of studies that will help readers understand the personal engagements that consumers develop with their favorite brands.  It’s a must read for managers interested in building and managing those brands, and thereby competing more effectively in our fast-evolving, brand-driven Reputation Economy.
