After some 4 years, 75+ interviews, 150 cases studied and uncounted conversations JP Kuehlwein and Wolf Schaefer are proud to present their latest book ‘Rethinking Prestige Branding – Secrets of the Ueber-Brands’ published by Kogan Page Publishing.
The book examines what allows brands to command multiples of the average category price and garner a often cult-like following. People buy them as much with their hearts as with their heads and their creators apply magic as much as logic. The authors call the best of these brands ‘Ueber-Brands’ and look at what drives their success across a broad spectrum of categories including Food (eg. Innocent, Lakrids, Red Bull, Nespresso), Hospitality and Entertainment (Hoshino Resorts, Cirque Du Soleil), Transportation (Tesla, Mini, Harley Davidson), Fashion, Beauty, Accessories (Freitag, Brunello Cucinelli, Aesop, Chaumet) all the way to household goods like detergents or soaps (The Laundress, Yuan) and across the globe.
