The book that started the school. Thomas Gad's 4D Branding proposed that every brand lives in four dimensions at once — functional, social, mental, and spiritual — and that the durable brands are the ones coherent across all four.
The founding text
Published in 2001 with a foreword by Richard Branson, 4D Branding drew on Gad's two decades in advertising to argue that a brand is not a logo or a campaign but a relationship — and one that has to be understood in four dimensions. It introduced the Brand Mind Space, the model still at the centre of the practice today. Annette edited the manuscript and has applied and taught its framework for twenty-five years.
Annettes samtida kommentar
[CONFIRM / Annette to supply or approve: 150–200 words on what in 4D Branding is still core, what has shifted, and how she applies it now. Suggested spine: the four dimensions are unchanged; what each demands of a company in 2026 is not. Function is now the floor, not the differentiator; the spiritual dimension is now simply expected.]
