CALL FOR CHAPTERS

CEO Branding: Meaning, Measuring, Managing

 

Editor: Marc Fetscherin

Publisher: Routledge (Taylor & Francis Group)

Brief Description

Many articles and books have been published about product and corporate branding. Only very recently the importance of ‘human brands’ has been recognized as another important aspect of branding (cf. Journal of Marketing article by Thomson, 2006). One such human brand is the CEO. The CEO has been identified to impact financial (e.g., company performance, company profits, stock returns) as well as non-financial (e.g., job retention, analysis’s trust of financial industry or company image) aspects of companies.

The aim of this book is to advance knowledge about human branding, specifically the concept of the CEO as a brand by assembling latest research, empirical studies or case studies. The book focuses on the understanding and meaning of the CEO as a brand, how to measure the brand CEO and discusses the impact and relationships the CEO brand has on companies. Specifically it looks at the why, where and how the CEO brand impacts financial and non-financial aspects of companies. The book offers a wide range of in-depth and up-to-date insights and findings. Those findings are complemented with lessons learned and how to manage the brand CEO and subsequently the corporate brand. The book provides a rigorous base for theory development and provides practical management tools for an appropriate CEO and corporate communication and branding strategy.
