Critics Review
Marty Neumeier
“In THE BRAND OPERATING SYSTEM, Marc Stress shows how tactical dependence leads inexorably to commoditization, ‘the nagging sense that you’re building on rented land.’ The remedy for commoditization is to build ‘compounding advantages’ through intentional, long-term brand strategy. This book is a game-changer for every B2B and service firm.”

“I’ve spent my career telling firms to narrow their positioning and stop chasing everything that moves. Marc Stress has written the operational manual for what happens after you make that decision. The Brand Operating System connects the dots between positioning, trust, and growth in a way that most branding books are too timid to attempt.”
- David C. Baker, author of The Business of Expertise
Rob Meyerson
“In Brand Operating System, Marc Stress has distilled the fundamental aspects of brand building into a detailed, pragmatic handbook-chock full of invaluable advice for business leaders and branding professionals alike.”
- Rob Meyerson, co-author of Designing Brand Identity
