Why This Book and Platform for Your Classroom

The book, Brand Intelligence, provides a rigorous analytical framework with quantitative foundations—bridging theory and practice in a way trade books cannot. The platform, brand-ai.org, extends it into a living teaching ecosystem: new case studies published regularly, AI tools students can use on real companies, and a growing body of research digests that keeps the material current between editions. Adopt the book as your anchor text; use the platform to bring it to life.
