Pete Cashmore, CEO and founder, Mashable

"Avi Savar was a savant when it came to knowing that brands were becoming the new media (long before most had any idea this was the case). Now with Content to Commerce, he illuminates the path from theory to operational practice convincingly showing that, to indeed be the new media, brands have to act much like a traditional broadcasting network."
Marisa Thalberg, VP, Corporate Global Digital Marketing, The Estée Lauder Companies, Inc.
