Three decades of covering the region has convinced me there is one advertising expert in Asia who stands above all others. Batey leads the pack in building Asian companies into global brands and has finally shared the secrets in this fascinating blueprint for success. His depth of knowledge of Asian markets resonates on every page. A must read for Asian executives with products or services to market which Western brand owners will ignore at their peril.

Ian Batey has a commanding view of the Asian marketing and advertising scene. He is the ONE author qualified to write a book about Asian brand building...his famous campaign for the Singapore Girl built an Asian icon known the world over. Ian had, and then maximised, an unusual opportunity, which was when Singapore Airlines delivered even more to the consumer than the advertising promised (the brand builders dream!). From that, all the following success stories that Batey Ads provided for their clients, built the knowledge that this book shares with its readers...it's a must read for anyone interested in branding.
- Peter J. Luffman, President, Newsweek International
When you think of Ian Batey, you think of Asia's best-known brand, Singapore Airlines. So who could be better qualified than this brand builder extraordinaire to write the book on Asian brand building. Ian being Ian, it's full of his irreverent wit and acute observations resulting in something readable and insightful.
- Andrew Thomas, Global Client Director, International Herald Tribune
Terrific...finally some sound practical advice for committed marketers and ad agencies rather than ephemeral flummery.
