When consumer behaviors change, marketing must change with them.

Inbound Marketing, Revised and Updated Reviews

Covering everything from website design to creating strategy, the book is a well-written and (somewhat) entertaining take on how to use the web to create a successful sales strategy (Entrepreneur Middle East, January 2015)
