Reviews

[Josiah Richardson · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read for marketing in MBA program. Helpful but tedious and slightly out of date.

[Jamie Mobley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was a great book for my Strategic Marketing class, fall semester 2020. It was still pretty relevant for today’s market; just keep in mind it’s from 2014. Still a lot of great information and tactics, and it’s all delivered in an easy to understand way.
