A most complete view of the modern marketing strategy

The best overview of practices in modern marketing. Rereading it after five years it still holds up and hits bullseye when talking about commerce-applied storytelling.

Good book. Introductory

There was a good story around setting up the story. There were a few key points to highlight and share. I would have liked if it had a more structured or classroom approach. I listened to it, maybe if I read it, I would have felt the classroom affect.

Informal

Helpful insight tips on how to market your work as an author, and information on how to write commercials. I will listen to it again.

Great book, but.. UPDATED

Update: Okay, so I figured it out. You have to play Robert's narration at a faster speed. I use 1.25x the speed and it keeps me engaged. I don't zone out anymore.

Old Review: Robert McKee.. legend. Book is really insightful and intuitive, except.. for his ability to read an audiobook. Something about his voice makes me tune out and not care.

I've bought several audiobooks from McKee.. same story. Great material... but something about his voice doesn't work for me.

Every Salesman and Business Rep Must Listen to this

What an incredible Listen! Robert McKee Blends real world examples with pop culture films and practical viral ad examples to make this book viable for anyone in 2019 and Beyond. I would absolutely recommend this if you are planning on releasing any kind of ad campaign in the next year centered around a product or service.

Behind the Advertisement Curtain

Always a pleasure to learn more from Mr. Mckee and now he's got Mr. Thomas

Taking Notes

I took more notes while listening to this book then I ever have before. I am a regular listener to non-fiction and business based books, and I’ve heard a lot of bad ones. This is most certainly not one of them.

Enjoy the learning experience of this book, but keep a notepad and pen handy. You just may learn more than you are able to remember in one sitting!

Interesting concepts

The first part of the book covers the details about writing a good story, the second part tells you how to apply it to marketing.
Brilliant and easy to follow.

This is the stuff you build companies with

Enlightening and yet very concrete. This book does what it deserves and tells you why you should adopt the mindset it's teaching. This in itself isn't special, but this book also tells you how you learn to think that way and what you can actually do. Loved it and I am incorporating it in my marketing company immediately.

Great Book

Great resource for personal and professional business development. It accomplished the stated goal of teaching you how to write a story. The narration was awesome, and the examples provided a greater depth of understanding. This is not only a must read but it is a must re-read.
