Story
Customers, followers, subscribers. It's easy to just look at the numbers. How many likes? How many purchases? How many email subscribers? But as entrepreneurs, we have to remember that there are people behind all that data. People who are looking to us to be a leader, to give advice, and to care. In this dog-eat-dog world, these are the people who are looking for someone who they can trust and who they know have their best interests in mind.

Story
Every marketer tells a story. And if they do it right, we believe them. We believe that wine tastes better in a $20 glass than a $1 glass. We believe that an $80,000 Porsche Cayenne is vastly superior to a $36,000 VW Touareg, which is virtually the same car. We believe that $225 Pumas will make our feet feel better, and look cooler, than $20 no-names... and believing it makes it true.

Why do some products get more word of mouth than others? Why does some online content go viral? Word of mouth makes products, ideas, and behaviors catch on. It's more influential than advertising and far more effective. Can you create word of mouth for your product or idea? According to Berger, you can. Whether you operate a neighborhood restaurant, a corporation with hundreds of employees, or are running for a local office for the first time, the steps that can help your product or idea become viral are the same.

All About Them shows listeners how to use this simple but extremely powerful influencing technique. Bruce Turkel, who has advised some of the world's greatest companies, including American Express and Bacardi, lays the groundwork by relating his personal journey of discovery to the "All About Them" principle.

Mark Twain once observed, "A lie can get halfway around the world before the truth can even get its boots on." His observation rings true: urban legends, conspiracy theories, and bogus public-health scares circulate effortlessly. Meanwhile, people with important ideas (business people, teachers, politicians, journalists, and others) struggle to make their ideas "stick". In this indispensable guide, we discover that sticky messages of all kinds draw their power from the same six traits.

Publisher's Summary
In Primal Branding, Hanlon explores those seven components, known as the primal code, and shows how to use and combine them to create a community of believers in which the consumer develops a powerful emotional attachment to the brand. These techniques work for anyone involved in creating and selling an image, from marketing managers to social advocates to business leaders seeking to increase customer preference for new or existing products. Primal Branding presents a world of new possibility for marketers of every stripe, and the opportunity to move from being just another product on the shelf to becoming a desired and necessary part of the culture.
Patrick Hanlon has served as a senior executive at the world's most creative advertising agencies, working on famous brands including Absolut, UPS, Sears, and IBM. In August 2003, he founded Thinktopia and began sharing the primal branding concept with marketers from Target, LEGO, Starbucks, and elsewhere. He lives in Minneapolis.
Critic Reviews
"Hanlon's energetic case for thinking differently about common practices makes for a rousing read." (Publishers Weekly)

Good book, hard to stay interested
I struggled to finish the book due to the fact that the beginning gives you the points, than the middle gives you examples (not so interesting but somewhat insightful) . The end describes attributes of the point from the beginning.
Summary:
The seven steps to build your brand.
1. Creation story
2. Creed
3. The icons
4. The rituals
5. The non-believers
6. the sacred words
7. the leader
Brands are belief systems, use them to make followers.
Believing is belonging.

priceless
I haven't found anything that can teach you how to build that real cult-like customer following like this. It is very clear too. Very understandable, and like I said, I've never seen something like this else where.
The author gives the exact equation for a brand to become a part of peoples lifestyles in a unique and well researched manner. Once you hear it you will feel like you have an edge on everyone else. That if youre into marketing of course.

Too general to be useful
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
A person who enjoys success stories.
What does Alan Sklar bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
An unctuously sleazy tone.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Primal Branding?
The whole thing. His examples are just to broad to be useful.
Any additional comments?
I would recommend renaming the book to "Brand Tales : Descriptive flowery stories about mega successful brands.

Great Concept, but Long and Boring
I think this entire book could be summed up in one hour with a second hour dedicated to practical ways to apply the principles to your business. The author gives endless examples of successful corporations and what they do, but really doesn't go into how they made their decisions or where to start with your own business. Two thumbs down to the narrator who's monotone reading became increasingly irritating. The concepts in the book are great. It's presentation and usefulness is not.

eh ...
Not too happy with this audio book. It started out slow and progressively became worse. I completely lost interest a few chapters into it. I wish I could get my one credit back.
During the first chapter I got to hear some remarks that were at best stereotypical and at worst racist. The author talked of the "burden" of having to ride in limos, when in reality they were just town cars filled with the smell of body sweat and curry from the drivers (strike one).
The author then treated me to a description of listening to a Nigerian cab driver's cassette recording of his late grandfather's funeral tape, because as worldly as he is, he likes all kinds of music (hogwash). Not only did the very old and very white narrator do a bad Nigerian accent (I think this is what he was going for - strike two), but the author proceeded to describe the image of Nigerians jumping up while down spears chattering together to the song (strike three).
Most business books are written by out-of-touch, crusty, self-promoting businessmen or salesmen; I get it. This one was over the top. Save your time and money and buy a different audiobook.
