<p><b>Brand maturity is <i>not</i> inevitable.</b></p> <p><i>Waking the Giant</i> challenges current thinking and practice when it comes to achieving growth with mature brands.</p> <p>This book convincingly demonstrates that the challenge of revitalising a mature brand is just as exciting -- and requires just as much ingenuity and innovation -- as launching a new brand.</p> <p>While major mature brands still dominate many categories, margins and growth opportunities are often less than exciting.
