The old ways of marketing and branding don’t work any more. It’s a new world out there. Social media has changed everything about branding and marketing. What has emerged is a whole new world of exciting possibilities for both the consumer and for business. That is, if you can become a listening brand. With the power of persuasion now moving from company to consumer, you need to understand this change and what it means for advertising and marketing. From a branding expert who has felt the paradigm shifting under his feet comes Listening Brands.

If you’re still approaching marketing and advertising with the megaphone in your hand, it’s time to set it down and start listening instead, because the megaphone is changing hands.
