The Work Smarter Guide to Marketing (Better Marketing Without the Bullsh*t)

'An invaluable, refreshing return to the essentials of marketing - a great and useful read'
Sophie Devonshire, CEO of The Marketing Society

Whether you're in a huge business, a start-up or have a side-hustle, marketing matters. 'Strength of brand/marketing' is most frequently cited by business analysts (at 79%) as critical to a firm's success. But marketing is in a state of chaos. Most people with marketing in their job title have never studied it. Meanwhile, in too many media posts and agencies, pseudo-experts cherry-pick opinions and peddle marketing misinformation to give a snake-oil pitch that marketing is all about keeping up with change.

Grasping marketing shouldn't induce scepticism, fear or confusion. Mark Palmer acts as your trusted and experienced guide, demystifying the jargon, cutting through the clutter and helping you navigate your own refreshing journey towards what smarter and better marketing can be.

The 'Work Smarter' series provides shortcuts, tips and life-hacks for the development of essential business skills. The books bring together accomplished industry experts who have learned their trades at the coalface. They teach the skills ambitious businesspeople need in order to tip the playing field in their favour. It is the pirate equivalent of business advice; the antidote to conventional wisdom; 'smarter' practice over 'best practice'.
