Sparked a lot of ideas

The book sparked a lot of ideas. definitely worth a listen. very knowledgeable on the subject and how it's changing.

Very knowledgeable

Great book now I will buy printed one so I can make notes. Very exciting

Very good read

It was quite interesting to listen. I only wonder if he could have used examples from more companies, it seems like the same companies are mentioned over and over again. But it's good information for Advertising professionals.

Straight up, in your mouth, solid brand advice.

I found the advice and explanations by the author of this book to be on-point and powerful examples in creating a deeper attachment between a product or service and it’s customers. I’m 20 years in the Ad & Brand Market business (built Williamsburg | Brooklyn starting back in 2000) and still walked away with a handful of great tools from this book. I loved, loved loved it! — Breuk Iversen (12/2020)
