Summaries are available as both text and audio, and most are only about 15 minutes long. We pored through Blinkist’s extensive catalog looking for summaries of branding books. Read on—or skip to the table below—to see what we found.

• Marketing & Sales

And if you’re specifically looking for a book about branding, you’re in luck. We’ve compiled a long list of summaries of branding books—text and audio—including some books by past guests on the podcast. Even one of the few books about brand naming is summarized.

Here’s the crazy thing about Blinkist: If you’ve got the time, you could read or listen to all of these summaries in less than four hours.
