“Marketing is part art and part science. The ‘art era’ was ok in the 20th century. If you need to consistently generate growth and increased profitability in this century, you better stick with the science. When cost cutting is not enough to improve the bottom line, it is time to focus again on the consumer. Improve Your Marketing to Grow Your Business shows how to go from consumer insights to relevant innovation and actionable marketing plans. Metrics to measure marketing effectiveness complete a must-read book.”
