What do Coca-Cola, McDonald`s, IBM, Microsoft and Virgin have in common? Yes, they are all global giants striding confidently across the world, but what they are less recognized for are all those branded products they`ve launched that have bombed - spectacularly and at great cost.

He also looks at acknowledged brand mistakes made by successful blue-chip companies and some lesser-known but hilarious bombshells. He reveals what went wrong in every case and provides a valuable checklist of lessons learnt.
