How do brands cultivate loyalty and influence consumer purchasing decisions? The Power of Brand Ownership explores the complex dynamics between branding and consumer identity within both the physical and digital realms that form our cultural landscape. Miriam J. Johnson uncovers a symbiotic relationship where brands serve not merely as navigational aids in a consumer's journey but also as integral components of self-identity and social projection, and the power that entails. Investigating the nuances of power shifts, brand authenticity, activism, and the gendered nature of consumption, Johnson asserts that brands are both influenced by and influencers of the cultural terrain they inhabit as well as the temporal contexts in which they interact. Theoretical frameworks articulate the fluidity of capital within the consumer-brand nexus whilst insightful case studies illustrate industry examples, revealing the shifting strategies employed by companies to make brands identifiable and desirable in the ever-changing cultural landscape.

'Addressing the topic of branding from a much-needed fresh angle, The Power of Brand Ownership offers a unique and valuable perspective which incorporates cultural landscape, gender, activism, power, authenticity and other relevant topics that have been less frequently represented in this area. Highly thought-provoking content and the use of case studies enhances the book even more.' Joe Bogue and Dr Lana Repar, Cork University Business School, University College Cork
