#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Canada's most famous adman spills a career's worth of marketing secrets, so anyone can compete with the best in their business--whatever that business might be.

Big companies spend a fortune marketing their wares and services. Can yours? Invariably people ask advertising veteran and CBC Radio host Terry O'Reilly one question more than any other: How does a little business compete with the big guys? After decades at the helm of an award-winning advertising production company, and over a decade exploring the art and science of marketing for CBC Radio, O'Reilly delivers all the answers they--and anyone with something to sell--ever wanted to know.
Following his bestselling Age of Persuasion, O'Reilly collects a lifetime of marketing wisdom into an indispensable guide to competing for your customers' attention. From understanding what business you're really in and foregoing the extra mile in favour of the extra inch, to the benefits of counterintuitive thinking and knowing an opportunity when you see one, This I Know will help anyone understand the fundamentals of good marketing strategy and building the relationships that turn good marketing into great results, no matter how big or small your budget.

Must read for marketers. Rules to live buy

You'll want to read this. Period.

Tons of amazing tips, several great cases. Wonderful things that I never learned during 4 years of marketing schooling and 3 yrs in the business at an agency.

Fast paced, insighful, and fun!

I'm a big fan of Terry's radio show and this was a mega dose in one coherent package. I'm sure I'll re -listen to this one again and again.

Marketing school for entrepreneurs size small to tall

When I first read “This I Know”, Terry O’Reilly was the narrator in my head. Now he’s the narrator in my ears and my imagination was freed up to conjure ideas and plans to market my own business. (Listen with a note-pad handy, This I Know). The pause & rewind buttons got a serious work-out.
I want to personally thank Mr. O’Reilly for bringing his book to life and creating what is essentially a “Best Of” extended podcast of his beloved “Under the Influence” and “Age of Persuasion” CBC radio shows. Your hand-written thank-you card is in the mail (listen to find out why you should write him - and your customers - one too).

O'Reilly's gift to me and my business.

This book is the all-in-one tool I need to market my smallbusness. Thank you Terry
