Bestselling authors and world-renowned marketing strategists Al and Laura Ries usher in the new era of public relations. Today's major brands are born with publicity, not advertising. A closer look at the history of the most successful modern brands shows this to be true. In fact, an astonishing number of brands, including Palm, Starbucks, the Body Shop, Wal-Mart, Red Bull and Zara have been built with virtually no advertising. Using in-depth case histories of successful PR campaigns coupled with those of unsuccessful advertising campaigns, The Fall of Advertising provides valuable ideas for marketers -- all the while demonstrating why * advertising lacks credibility, the crucial ingredient in brand building, and how only PR can supply that credibility; * the big bang approach advocated by advertising people should be abandoned in favor of a slow build-up by PR; * advertising should only be used to maintain brands once they have been established through publicity. Bold and accessible, The Fall of Advertising is bound to turn the world of marketing upside down.

In their trademark witty style, the Rieses draw upon ten years of research in order to present lively case studies showing how successful brands are developed. Exploring some of the most powerful brands and products of all time, they provide penetrating analysis into the marketing methods that built and established them. Ries and Ries lay down the rules for brand creation in a series of chapters showing how new ideas are developed, the importance of being first, inventing a new category, positioning opposite existing brands, positioning against an "enemy." They also discuss the importance of public relations, protecting the brand, and when to give up on an existing brand. They go on to show how one of the most effective techniques for creating new brands is to branch them off of already successful products or services. The authors contend that the principle applies in every category - beer, water, cola, insurance, software, computer hardware, retail, restaurants, clothing, etc. - and they examine the notion through their cases and examples.In contrast, they also look at the disasters created when products, services - or companies - are pushed together in misguided attempts to create new brands. Best example is the merger between AOL and Time-Warner.
