"Marketing is constantly evolving. Companies can't compete by using the same old, tired tools. This book provides fresh inspiration, with a new framework for doing things differently."

—Sally Hogshead, author of Fascinate; inductee into the CPAE Speaker Hall of Fame

"Participant marketing transformed the way we did business in the marketplace as an agency and provided a framework for doing business with clients that added unique value to their marketing efforts."
