This work contains mini-biographies of six entrepreneurs: Josiah Wedgewood, Henry Heinz, Marshall Field, Estee Lauder, Howard Schultz and Michael Dell, bringing to life how they constructed enduring connections between their companies and their customers. Included in this text is a rich examination of the relationship among the entrepreneur, the company and the customer, and how the brand results from and ultimately represents that relationship. Lessons from the six legendary brand-builders show how vision and values can transform both traditional and online businesses. This work outlines the strategic importance of brand creation and its translation into enduring organizations.
