		<description>This post and this whole blog have been very thought-provoking and educational to my understanding of brands and brand management. The &quot;brand as business&quot; management approach makes perfect sense, and seems to me an ideal model for conducting this type of business and building strong, valuable (and values-focused) brands. Its a suprise that more companies don&#039;t put such a focus on customer experience and public perception of their brand image. I think Apple is a perfect example, however, of a company that has done this with great success.</description>
