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.

Nothing but true

Great story about storynomics. The changing landscape of marketing and afvertising. The shoft in how to get your brand in the picture and your “news” shared. Very hopeful message for creatives who know how to create good stories that stick and spread.

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.
