“A lot of marketing talk focuses on technology: Twitter, Facebook, viral videos, clicks. Linda Popky understands that technology is an important piece of the puzzle, but not THE most important. Her back-to-basics approach builds on foundational values like trust, relationship-building, and resilience to create customer interest and loyalty. Marketing Above the Noise speaks to marketers in their language, but it really shines when the author digs into what specific companies are doing right and wrong.”
