Armed with practical advice and insights, this book offers a great strategic framework for re-considering your brand and attacking lethargic thinking." - John Gerzema, Best-selling author and social strategist

"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.

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.

"What makes this book invaluable is its unrelenting focus on the 'why' (not just the 'how') of digital marketing. That, and inspiring interviews with real-life Davids who have leveraged digital tools to make a real difference in their careers, their businesses and their lives make this plain-English book downright inspirational!" - Rebecca Lieb, Industry Analyst, The Altimeter Group & author of Content Marketing

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