About James R. Gregory

Dr. James R. Gregory

With 40 years of experience in advertising and branding, Jim is a leading expert on corporate brand management and is credited with developing strategies for measuring the power of brands and their impact on a corporation’s financial performance. Most notable of the tools that Jim has developed is the CoreBrand Index (CBI), a quantitative research vehicle that continuously tracks the reputation and financial performance of over 800 publicly traded companies across 50 industries. Tenet Partners uses the CBI to help clients recognize how their brands compare with industry peers and how communications can impact corporate reputation and financial performance, which includes stock price and revenue growth.

Dr. James R. Gregory is the founder of NYLAQ Advisors. He is also chairman emeritus of Tenet Partners, a global brand innovation and marketing firm based in New York, NY.

Dr. Gregory is a frequent speaker on the financial benefits of communications and brand management. Recent speaking engagements include The Conference Board, the Association of National Advertisers, and the National Investor Relations Institute.

One of the key secrets to my success was my passion for writing. Over the next four decades, I wrote a series of business books that helped build not only our business brand but also my personal reputation. Some of the titles I crafted include “Marketing Corporate Image,” “Leveraging the Corporate Brand,” “Branding Across Borders,” “The Best of Branding,” and “Powerhouse, the Secrets of Corporate Branding.”

After successfully exiting the business, I embarked on a new journey – writing fiction. I quickly discovered that my favorite genre was short reads in the form of novellas. Drawing upon my extensive business experiences, personal life, and current events, I craft stories that can be enjoyed in just one sitting, whether it’s an evening at home or a cross-country flight.

Jim has served on numerous for-profit and non-profit boards. He currently serves on the Board of Trustees of the Virginia Commonwealth University Foundation, as chairman of The Grant Committee, and as a member of the Executive Council. In addition, he is a founding member of the Marketing Accountability Standards Advisory Council (MASAC) and past committee chairman of the Improving Financial Reporting committee of the Marketing Accountability Standards Board (MASB).
  
Jim has written five books on creating value with brands: Marketing Corporate Image, Leveraging the Corporate Brand, Branding Across Borders, and The Best of Branding. His latest book is an international bestseller, Powerhouse – The Secrets of Corporate Branding. He recently wrote four fictional books, Small Fortunes, Stones in a Glass House, Fortune Teller, and Zephyr’s War. 
 
Dr. Gregory defended his doctoral dissertation in 2018 at the University of South Florida’s MUMA College of Business. His dissertation is entitled: Intangible Capital: Culture of Innovation and its Impact on the Cash Flow Multiple.

Read Reviews by My Readers

The main thing I liked about this book is its a rich feed. The characters are beautifully developed and engaging. I was, hooked early and drawn in as this tale progressed. The author artfully wove in just enough about the amazingly subtle innovation of vision-based corporate branding to alert the reader to the sea changes it caused in industries across the globe and provided a healthy dose of some of the drama resulting from it.

A delightful and insightful page turner!

This book is aimed at businesses that are past the embryonic stage but not already staffed with a bunch of MBAs (although a lot of MBAs could benefit from its plain explanation of the topic). The key to message is that the company must walk the talk over an extended period and in all of its various facets if the brand is to coalesce and stick. i tend to look at these books from the perspective of a very small business and I found this one to be very useful because it is so free of babble-speak.

A good primer on branding in proper English with minimal buzzwords
