What our customer's say!

"It just makes sense!", I have working in marketing for years and have even dabbled in new marketing, social media and the like. The New Rules of Marketing and PR just takes it to a whole new level where it just makes sense!

After reading I have an entirely new focus around our day to day activities as well as our overall marketing strategy. I keep it on my desk and am constantly referring to it or the thousands of notes I took while reading it.

"New rules mean new behaviours", David Meerman Scott gives an exceptional overview of how these very traditional disciplines are changing, but with excellent practical tips and advice as to how to embrace this change.

A must read for any PR or marketing professional.

"Excellent with lots of repetition", The book is a an excellent introduction to the new e-PR and e-marketing techniques, and full of concrete methods on how to tackle these issues.
The only catch is that it is full of repetition: same advices and same examples repeated over and over again. I think is the repetitions are taken off, the book could be shrunk down to 100 pages


"The Internet has made public relations public again", The New Rules of Marketing and PR. The subtitle is "How to use news releases, blogs, podcasting, viral marketing and online media to reach buyers directly."

That last bit about reaching customers directly is a key point about the difference between the old rules of PR and the new rules. Traditionally, PR agents wrote press releases in certain style, and sent them to journalists with the hope of some resulting press coverage. The author says "the Internet has made public relations public again." Customers can find your news releases on your web site, so you should write with that in mind. "In PR, it's not about clip books. It's about reaching our buyers."

The author recommends establishing a reputation of thought leadership in your industry. Too often organizations wag the dog by focusing on technology and design, but it is content that will get you traffic from search engines, and it is content that will help customers make buying decisions. Web sites, blogs, podcasts, wikis, etc. are simply delivery vehicles for the content.

Quality content is written clearly without gratuitous jargon and what the author calls "gobbledygook." (Or as one of my professors used to say, eschew obfuscation.)

Audience segmentation is not a new concept, but I liked the author's term "buyer personas" because it gives the various target groups more of a human face. Learn about each persona, and create separate content to address their specific needs.




"Don't Get Left Behind!", The New Rules of Marketing and PR will change the way you think about your marketing strategy. It is marketing and PR 3.0 for the 21st century.

For any business with a Web presence that is looking to take their PR to a new level, this book is a must-read.

"Making Marketing Accessible to the Masses", The New Rules of Marketing and PR is an in-depth exploration of the principles and philosophies behind marketing. It begins by examining the "rules" of the past, and exploring the mindset that went into the ways in which marketing was handled and why, and contrasts them with the new "rules". The book then explores the various avenues open to today's marketers: blogs, press releases, podcasts, forums, wikis, viral campaigns, and content-rich websites of your own.

Although I must admit that I found Parts I and II of the book a bit dry to read, they do an excellent job of providing insight into the ideas behind marketing, delves into the differences between the old and new rules, and providing a general understanding of each of the marketing avenues listed above.

But for me Part III, "Action Plan for Harnessing the Power of the New Rules," is where the book comes alive for me. It's there that we transition from the passiveness of discussing philosophy into actually putting the New Rules to work for you. At first we learn how to build a marketing plan, and then we transition into creating the content for our marketing materials, the kind of content that will distinguish you from the rest and earn your potential buyers' respect and loyalty. From there we move on to each of the avenues previously mentioned, giving each a chapter of its own so that we learn how to utilize each of them to great effect, always keeping the customer's needs and wants at the forefront of our thinking.

I don't feel that The New Rules of Marketing and PR alone will teach you all that you need to know to be a successful marketer. One of the book's "flaws", such as it is, is that it has more of a corporate business-minded slant, making some of the ideals it presents not as accessible to those of us who run smaller businesses. Nor will it teach you all you need to know to write effective ad copy or press releases, although you will come away understanding the goals to strive for when writing them. But what the book does very well is introduce you to the world of marketing, and give you an understanding of the "old rules" as a foundation to teach you about the "new rules," and if you are a small business owner like myself with little to no knowledge of the ins and outs of marketing, it will provide you with the mindset necessary to become a better, more savvy marketer.

As a primer to begin your study of marketing, this is an excellent resource.

"Everything you ever wanted to know about social media", There are dozens of books on social media and PR, but this book has the best of both worlds. This book seems geared toward larger companies, but as a small business owner, I found the information extremely useful. The author knows what he's talking about, and he provides you with dozens of examples, URLs, etc. There is so much information that when you're done reading it, you'll know about all avenues to promote yourself through social networking sites. I now visit the author's blog every couple weeks just to see what else he has to say. If you're going to buy one book on social media, try this one first. Then get your highlighter ready.

"Good for Small Businesses Too", The New Rules of Marketing and PR: How to Use News Releases, Blogs, Podcasing, Viral Marketing and Online Media to Reach Buyers Directly contains some really good information for a small business or a business that is just starting. I ordered the book with hopes of finding a few tips that could help me launch a powerful website for my new business. It exceeded my expectations.

Due to some of the information in this book, I have changed the approach that I am taking for my site (currently being developed). I found the chapters about news releases and blogs particularly helpful. In addition, I enjoyed reading about David Meerman Scott's approach to a company's marketing plan.

"Create content for search engines", This entire book is about search engine marketing. That means delivering useful content at just at the precise moment that a buyer needs it. 'Organizations gain credibility and loyalty with buyers through content,' says David Meerman Scott. 'Smart marketers now think and act like publishers in order to create and deliver content targeted directly at their audience.'

Try to apply the old rules of advertising and media relations to the Web and you'll fail fail miserably, says Scott. That's because we're now in an environment governed by new rules. Marketers must shift their thinking from mainstream marketing to the masses, to a strategy of reaching vast numbers of underserved audiences via the Web. And the best way for PR people and marketers to communicate directly with their audiences is to learn and use new Web tools and techniques.

Part I of the book explains how the Web has changed the rules of marketing and PR. Part II introduces and details each of the various media including blogs, podcasts, and viral campaigns. Part III offers "how-to" information and an action plan for using the new rules in your company.



"A Tremendous Introduction to the Topic", This has to be one of the best books on internet marketing. It covers all aspects, including the use of news releases, blogs, podcasting, social networks and RSS. I'm sure it's a book I will be referring to again and again, as it contains a tremendous amount of invaluable information. A large number of books on this topic have appeared on the market in recent years, but I feel this is one of the best. Scott doesn't pull any punches; he presents the material in an easy-to-read, straight forward way, and he doesn't hold back on insights and insider information. There's no doubt that the rules of marketing have changed with the introduction of the internet, and it's important for most people to understand the differences. And this is the book that tells you. It would be invaluable to authors, CEO's of both small and large businesses, anyone wanting to set up a website, and many others. Highly recommended.
