The Future of Marketing

How Authenticity, Relevance and Transparency Will Help You Survive The Age of the Customer

In 2015, my first book was published by Pearson. The Future of Marketing argued that enterprise marketing strategies must focus on authenticity, relevance and transparency to survive the age of the customer.

Featuring insight from CMOs of Bacardi, Xerox, Molson Coors, Aflac, One Medical Group and others, the book is now used by several MBA marketing courses across the USA.

You can buy a copy at Amazon.
