In Branding , Johnson strips the most famous, everyday brands down to their basic components, enabling us to understand why we select one product or service over another and allowing us to comprehend how seemingly subtle influences can affect our key life decisions.It forced me to do more work and analysis of precisely how, when and where the creativity involved in strategy, narrative, naming and brand architecture interfaces with the more traditional aspect of ‘designing the logo’. Two and a half years later the project came to fruition in Branding: In Five and Half Steps, published in Autumn 2016 by Thames and Hudson. In early 2014, Michael Johnson started work on a key book he felt was missing from his shelves – a definitive guide to the entire branding process that wasn’t biased to either strategy or design, but treated both as equals.

The first part of the book shows how the birth of a brand begins not with finding a solution but rather with identifying the correct question—the missing gap in the market—to which an answer is needed. Johnson also emphasizes the importance to bridge the gap between strategy and design (thus the “half step” in the book title). On-line reviewers described it as ‘The best reference on branding I’ve ever seen’ and ‘very straightforward, passionate, concise, with many great case studies and examples’.

From the first screech of his electric guitar upsetting musicians at a folk festival to his writing and paintings, Bob Dylan has risen to become a seminal force in American popular culture.Michael Johnson does a great job at both bringing real cases and showing how exactly did branding or rebranding impacted a business, and dividing the process into easy, well-explained 5 steps. If you don’t immerse yourself and investigate what a brand stands (or doesn’t stand), you’ll end up creating fantastic solutions, for the wrong reasons.

Having high-quality, strategic branding is what makes certain businesses soar straight to the top while others drown in a sea of sameness. I guess my hope is that those interested in the first stages might keep reading — and conversely, those interested in the later stages might get something out of the early ones too. Johnson proceeds to unveil hidden elements involved in creating a successful brand from the strapline that gives the brand a narrative and a purpose to clever uses of typography that unite design and language. Many years ago we started stripping out all the jargon and just asking simple questions – “what do you do?
