Influence Marketing

Identify and Manage the Influence Paths That Convert Brand Awareness to Customer Acquisition

Today, you face a brutally tough, maddeningly elusive new competitor: the “wisdom of crowds’. Social media gives consumers 24/7 access to the attitudes and recommendations of their most engaged peers.

These are the views that shape buying decisions.

These are the views you must shape and use.

Influence Marketing won’t just help you identify and enlist key influencers: it will help you manage the influence paths that lead consumers to buy.

Sam and Danny don’t just demystify influence marketing, they make it understandable and actionable. In an age where the term “influence” is used loosely, and scored with the same abandon, I’d recommend this book to anybody in customer-facing roles (sales, marketing, agency, CXX, product, etc. ). Fred McClimans, Principal, Intelligist Group.

A must-read for any marketing person. Brings structure into this crazy world. Can’t name any other book that conveys so much detail without losing its grip on you. Years of experience on a plate. A+. Anatoly Volkhover, CEO, Manumatix.
