 My new book, Marketers Are From Mars, Consumers Are From New Jersey is now available at Amazon.
My new book, Marketers Are From Mars, Consumers Are From New Jersey is now available at Amazon.It's a fast-paced, thrill-packed journey through the back alleys of marketing... or, wait... maybe it's an uproarious romp across the treacherous landscape of today's advertising industry... or, hold on, maybe it's just a book I scraped together from this blog, articles I've written, talks I've given, and stuff I found lying around at Taco Bell. You decide.
The theme of the book is that the advertising and marketing industries are kinda screwed-up. Including...
- the gross misunderstanding of the role of brands
- the near destruction of the agency business
- the mistaking of gimmicks for trends
- the abandonment of the most powerful consumer group the world has ever seen
- the fantasy of social media marketing
- the fraud and corruption in digital advertising
- the silliness of putting pineapple on pizza
So if I were you (and you can be thankful I'm not) I'd click on over to Amazon right now and lay my five-and-a-quarter down.
Be the first in your therapy group to own a copy of Marketers Are From Mars, Consumers Are From New Jersey.
UPDATE: WOW. BOOK JUMPED TO #4 ON FIRST DAY. LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE TEMPORARILY SOLD OUT. PLEASE KEEP TRYING. THANKS, BH

Ha! Just ordered
a copy. Out of curiosity: What was the reason for dropping the title
"Advertising needs troublemakers"?
Also curious about that, it was a great title!
Any chance of a Kindle edition?
I changed the thrust of the book midstream and thought it needed a different title.
Yes, Kindle edition should be coming within a week or two. Takes a little time to format it.
Perfect, I'll definitely pick it up. Congratulations on finishing it.
Bob, I just tried, and it looks as if the book is not available on Amazon. Some kind of glitch perhaps? I've enjoyed your work for awhile now -- particularly the B.S. speech from last year. Keep being contrary; our industry needs more like you!
Sorry, Robert. It looks like they're temporarily sold out. I guess that's good.
No kindle version?
In spite of my affinity for pineapple on pizza, I can't wait to read the book, Bob.
Thanks Tom.
