By: Richard Laermer, Mark Simmons

Narrated by: Richard Laermer, Mark Simmons

Length: 2 hrs and 20 mins

Publisher's summary

This is a free-flowing conversation between two authors who are intimate with their subject. These guys banter, argue, throw things, and joke about the current state of marketing and an obvious need for a manifesto to REALLY shake things up!

In a lively two-hour exchange, the boys of Punk Marketing go at it with verve, gusto, and glee, as they talk through the 15 articles of the manifesto that bolsters their revolution - it's hilarious, irreverent, and timely! And it is entirely ad-libbed (as if these two could be scripted). Oh, and they make fun of each other too.

Horribly Painful

This is more like a drunken Friday-afternoon gabfest between two people who clearly are more impressed with themselves than they should be. It is a travesty to list it as "book." I purchased it because I wanted a quick listen (2hours) and thought it might provide a salient overview. I could not even get through the two hours.

I gave this title a "one-star" only because I don't know how to enter a rating that asks Audible to remove this title and give me my money back.

Not Concise, Doesn't Get to the Point

There are 15 items in the Punk Marketing Menifesto. However, it took 26 minutes to get to the first one. If you are a busy person with not much time to listen to a lot of joking around and mindless babble, then I would advise buying the book to cut through the nonsense. With a book you can, at least, get right to the heart of the matter. Otherwise, you will spend most of your time listening to the narrators entertaining themselves instead of getting right to the point.
