This Is Marketing
Seth Godin redefines modern marketing. An approach built on empathy, building communities and positive impact rather than interruption and manipulation.
What you get out of it
Understand how marketing is shifting toward more ethical, community-driven approaches
Don't look for customers for your products: look for products for your people.
Why I recommend it
Godin has been saying the same thing for twenty years, and he is right to keep saying it: marketing is not the art of interrupting people, it is the art of being useful to them. This book sums it all up: the smallest viable market, permission, tension.
Get it into the hands of anyone who still thinks marketing means advertising. You read it in two evenings and reread it in one: Godin writes in aphorisms.
Affiliate link: it pays for keeping the library up to date, at no extra cost to you.
