Human Truths: Build Brands People Love, Trust, and Never Leave (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781069634115)

Why do some brands earn a lasting place in people's lives while others-with bigger budgets and smarter technology-simply disappear? After thirty years building Fortune 500 brands, Kim D. Rozdeba is convinced the answer isn't strategy, data, or design. It's human truth.

Human truths are the universal needs and emotions that cut across every culture, category, and generation-the desire to feel valued, the hope for a better tomorrow, the fear of loss, the longing to belong, the search for meaning. When a brand genuinely reflects even one of them, it stops being just a product. It becomes a habit, a ritual, a favorite for life.

In Human Truths you will learn to:

• Identify which of the eleven human truths your brand can authentically own
• Audit your customer experience for the gap between what you think you deliver and what customers actually feel
• Apply simple, practical tools and diagnostics you can put to work this week
• Say your brand's human truth in a single, unmistakable sentence

Best of all, it's fast: in under two hours you'll know all eleven human truths-and with the companion worksheets, you can start putting them to work the same day.

This is not a survey of brand history or a theoretical framework. It's a working guide for founders, marketers, and brand leaders - the third book in Rozdeba's branding trilogy, after Branding Queens and LOYALNOMICS.

Read it with a pen. Then build a brand people love, trust, and never leave.
