The book's context'How Brands Grow' is jointly authored by Sharp and the researchers of the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, of which he is director, at the University of South Australia. This institute is sponsored by large clients who are, as Sharp put it, 'on a journey towards evidence-based marketing'. The aim behind writing the book was to allow the CMOs of these sponsors to take to the CEO hard evidence of what works in marketing. 'It was to show there's some substance behind what we are saying and hopefully raise the credibility of marketing,' Sharp said.
