It's no secret that the old methods of mass marketing are loosing effectiveness and value. We have exploited the basic advertising tactics for so long, customers just don't seem to care anymore. We now live in a "delete" era where the customer is in charge. The time to reinvent the way we go-to-market is now! Given the light speed at which your customers receive and process information, the fragmentation of media outlets, combined with a volatile macroeconomic climate - marketing genius is key. The book offers a clear roadmap toward creating sustainable and profitable brand value through a better ability to understand and delight your customer. It will prepare your company to embody your brand and live up to the promise that you portray.
