Brand Revitalisation Case Studies

Go Back to Previous Page

The Brand Revitalisation chapter of our book Marketing Excellence 2 contains 4 award winning case studies by McDonald’s, Hovis, British Gas and KFC.

The foreword to the chapter is supplied by Peter Kirkby, VP Global Marketing Excellence at GSK Consumer Healthcare.

“Resist the temptation to read the case studies and think ‘it wouldn’t have happened on my watch”. Ask instead: “Are we doing enough to make sure we’re not a future revitalisation candidate?’. Prevention is better than cure!.”
Peter Kirkby,
VP Global Marketing Excellence, GSK Consumer Healthcare
