Branding errors: why focus on failure?

The aim of this blog is to provide ‘how not to’ advice by drawing on some of the largest branding blunders of all time. Brands which set sail with the help of multi-million dollar advertising campaigns shortly before sinking without trace are clear contenders. However, the blog will also look at acknowledged brand mistakes made by usually successful companies such as Virgin, McDonald’s, IBM, Coca-Cola, General Motors and many others.

Welcome, then, to the brand graveyard where companies have either put their flagging brand to rest or have allowed it to stagger around with no direction in a state of limbo. While these branding ‘horror stories’ may suggest that failure is inevitable, their example has helped to identify the key danger areas. It is hoped then, that this blog will provide an illuminating, if rather frightening read.

Don’t have nightmares.
