Praise for the book that rewrote the rules of advertising

"If you ever dreamed of having a power lunch with the one–and–only Z, this book is the next best thing. Make sure you keep notes as Sergio drops his pearls of wisdom on the truth of advertising and beyond."
Bernd Schmitt, author, Experiential Marketing

"[Zyman] returns to the foundations of advertising, which he drills into rock. He builds or rebuilds the house of marketing from the ground up."

In this follow–up to his bestselling book The End of Marketing As We Know It, Sergio Zyman, Coca–Cola′s renowned former chief marketing officer, argues that the business of advertising as we know it is dead. He uses real–world examples to illustrate how modern advertising overemphasizes art and entertainment and neglects the most important rule of advertising–sell the product. With a keen eye and a no–holds–barred approach, Zyman discusses how advertising died, what killed it, and how to revive it. He addresses the most critical issues affecting any organization′s sales and marketing departments, using his time–tested, unorthodox, and sometimes even counterintuitive principles in order to translate key strategies into positive business results. For marketing managers, advertisers, and CEOs, this book offers groundbreaking advice from one of the legends of modern marketing, as well as the knowledge, insights, tools, and direction to transform advertising strategies from hoping to planning, from art to science, from guessing to knowing, and from random success to planned success.
