FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: powerHouse Books is pleased to announce the January 13, 2015 release of the paperback edition of Loveworks
Named one of Ad Age's "ideas of the decade," Kevin Roberts's Lovemarks: the future beyond brands revolutionized buisness thinking when it was first published. Brian Sheehan's Loveworks adds to Lovemarks in an essential way. Inside, it provides real world business examples and outlines the roadmaps followed by several popular brands to achieve Lovemark status. This January, powerHouse Books is excited to release a new paperback edition of Loveworks. While many companies were using the language of war in their marketing (target, penetrate, ambush), Roberts was using the language of love (mystery, sensuality, intimacy). He explained in simple terms what people are often loath to admit: we make decisions with our emotions over our reason. Lovemarks mapped the journey by which brands could move from consumer respect based on intellect, to consumer love based on emotion-and in return gain “loyalty beyond reason.” In 2010 Advertising Age magazine named Lovemarks one of their “ideas of the decade,” while noting that the roadmap for brands to achieve Lovemark status was still not entirely clear. Loveworks shows in detail how many of the world’s top marketing companies, including Procter & Gamble, Toyota, Kraft, General Mills, and Diageo have won in the marketplace by applying the theory. These companies have maintained a laser-like focus on making and sustaining emotional connections with consumers. Loveworks features 20 case stories from clients and markets worldwide in widely varying categories. It shows that Lovemarks thinking works, anywhere anytime—all it takes is the brains to implement it, the guts to see it through, and an abiding faith in emotion as your compass. Brian Sheehan is Associate Professor of Advertising at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications, Syracuse University.
