This is an exceptional book demonstrating how digital has changed the rules of marketing andhas tilted it in favor of the smaller, innovative player." - Jeffrey Cole, Director & CEO, Center for the Digital Future at USC Annenberg School
"It's not magic. But in order to succeed at digital marketing today you need a heck of a lot of smarts and know-how. The authors of this book can't help you with the former, but they sure can help you with the latter! With this book, you'll get solid, practical advice from two masters who do this stuff every day, and do it exceptionally well." - Geoffrey Ramsey, Chairman and Co-founder, eMarketer, Inc.

It walks you through the process providing clear and effective instruction." - Stefan Tornquist, Vice President, Research Econsultancy
