Customer Reviews

The book that sends Marketing back to the boardroom.
For many people employed in the marketing field the daily constant is proving that marketing is adding value to the organization. Doyle tackles marketings primary incompetence: the inability to show this 'value add' in financial terms. He argues convincingly that there is a high correlation between shareholder value and marketing input. At the end of this book Marketing people should succeed in securing higher budgets for targetted campaigns and organizations can expect to see improving shareholder returns over time. This book certainly comes under the 'must read' category.
