Bio

I am an Advantagizer, an expert in identifying growth opportunities and creating competitive advantages and even private monopolies for companies and brands. I integrate winning competitive strategies with profitable business models and psychologically powerful branding.

I am the CEO of Competitive Advantages (www.advantagizers.com), an international firm specializing in strategy consulting and the development and marketing of knowledge based products. Together with my highly trained team, I create Unique Success Formulas, Electrifying Marketing triumphs, Emotionally Significant Brands, and Short Term Hit brands, for my clients worldwide ranging from local mid-sized companies to Fortune Global 500 corporations.

Among the many organizations and brands I worked with are:

Coca-Cola, IBM, Roche Pharmaceuticals, Motorola, Comverse, The Olympic Committee, Europcar, H. Stern, Starkist Tuna, and several others.

The list also includes numerous local leading companies in the fields of:

banking and wealth management, insurance, R&D on-demand services, hi-tech, telecommunications and cellular communication, health services, food and beverages, toiletries and cosmetics, fashion, fitness, public transportation, car rental and leasing, car dealership, hotels, retail chains, online casinos, national lotteries, community centers and several non-profit organizations, government agencies and political parties.

I am a shareholder and active member of the board of directors of several consulting firms throughout Europe as well as of Elyakim-Herman advertising.

My executive and business experience includes holding positions as: VP Marketing of Migdal Group (Israel’s largest group of Insurance and financial services and subsidiary of the European Generali), Senior VP of Dahaf Group (advertising, home shopping TV channel, marketing services and consumer research) and Deputy Director General for Strategy and Research at Bauman-Ber Advertising (Saatchi & Saatchi). I taught at Bar Ilan University and other institutions of higher education in Israel.

I am often invited as a keynote speaker at international conferences; I facilitate seminars and workshops (www.danherman.com), and I am frequently interviewed by the media in different countries where I am active.

I have published tens of academic and professional articles and e-booklets, and written chapters about my research and innovations for academic publications.
I have also written three books to date, and my books as well as collections of my articles have been translated to different languages and published in several countries. My latest book Outsmart the MBA Clones: The Alternative guide to Competitive Strategy, Marketing and Branding (www.outsmart-mba-clones.com) was published recently in the US by Paramount Books.
