Review: "This book is a fantastic guide to online marketing, and the Internet in general. As a marketing practitioner, I've been finding my way own way through the online world for some time now but have always wondered if what I was doing was 'correct' and it would take me ages to find out what I needed to know through researching online articles, blogs, etc. I found this book to be fairly concise and focused. The references to other online articles that it includes are vast and can they be very absorbing. The best part about this is that it is written by someone that clearly has vast experience in the field and, unlike with some online articles, you get the feeling that what is advised is really 'best practice'. I'd recommend this book for anyone interested in digital marketing." Adam Butchart, Digital Marketing student Blurb: We love the Internet. We love digital and the connected world that we live in. We have spent the last six months gleaning every bit of knowledge, skill and opinion from the creative minds at Quirk. The result is a textbook borne out of more than 12 years of practical experience in the world of digital. For the reader, this translates into applicable insight into marketing in an ever-changing space.

"Since we published the last edition of the book, it has become increasingly obvious that the various elements of digital marketing work hand in hand, not just benefiting each other through coordination, but actually relying on each other for success." - Rob Stokes (Founder and Group CEO, Quirk) In order to reflect this change, we have restructured the book to mirror our four key agency disciplines: Think, Create, Engage and Optimise. This simplified way of thinking about the digital space makes it easier for students and professionals to benefit from the insights shared.

It's been said that the only functions of business are marketing and innovation, and the two definitely need each other. Without marketing, the best ideas might go nowhere, and conversely the Hindenberg might be mistakenly ballyhooed. But marketing extends beyond the business world, too. In the game of life, people are constantly selling things - often nothing more than themselves! Although The Essential Guide to Marketing is geared toward business-oriented readers, the concepts of marketing can help people in all walks of life, including consumers. The Essential Guide to Marketing consists of all 4 ebooks in The ABCs of Marketing series: In the first of the series, an MBA introduces readers to all of the necessary components of a successful marketing strategy, with chapters on Advertising, Branding (both Personal and Business), Demographics/Segments, Strategy/Planning, Marketing to Businesses vs. Consumers, Online and Offline Marketing, and Research. The goal is to provide an introductory understanding of the subject and familiarize the reader with key terms and practices. In the second ebook, Media Advertising, a former advertising executive provides an overview of seven popular advertising mediums and their functions. Sample cases provided include select clients, campaigns or instances that have been experienced or observed. The third installment, New Ways to Market with Social Media, explains how to use social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, as well as location-based marketing with Facebook Places, foursquare, and Loopt. It also explains how to utilize blogging, Youtube, and QR codes. Finally, the last ebook guides readers through marketing for a new small business or a startup, and how to successfully imprint your brand in the minds of the outside world. So let The Essential Guide to Marketing be your crash course in marketing and help you cover every step of the way.
