A little long in a lot of places. This could've been edited down a lot. A LOT in some places.
It was a good overview but focused a lot on business and management too, maybe at the expense of some focus on marketing - this isn't necessarily a bad thing, but it's a little different than expected.
Since I read the 2nd edition (I'm sure there are many more current now) I thoroughly enjoyed seeing all the insert photos of popular culture teenagers wearing mid-2000s clothing.
Fine for a text book. My biggest complaint is the redundancy of the information. They explain a concept, then provide an example, and then explain the same things again. I feel like the book could have been heavily edited down to even half of its original content and still captured everything well.
This book really broke down the marketing industry. But I feel it could have been about 100 pages less. There were a lot of lessons that were repeative for no reason. It is what it is, the book was dry on some subjects but others it gave great examples of real world situations.
