Branding the World
1: The Power of the Brand
In four programmes this week Kevin Jackson confronts the notion of the brand - the all-consuming search for identity and consumer loyalty that has spawned a massive industry. Businesses fight for their share of the market, and so do broadcasters, religions and leisure providers. All sign up to the power of image and name. Kevin Jackson talks to the brand creators, designers and persuaders - and also talks to the sceptics who look more objectively at the branding of the world. Producer Nicola Barranger
