Summary

MKTG STINX by Bob Hoffman

ABOUT THE BOOK:

From the Author – "There have been thousands of books and articles extolling the virtues of marketing and advertising. But I don't think there has ever been one about how stupid and wasteful most of it is.

Well, now there is."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Bob Hoffman is the author of several best-selling books about advertising. He is also among the most sought-after international speakers on advertising and marketing.

His books include, ADSCAM: How Online Advertising Gave Birth to One of History's Greatest Frauds, and Became a Threat to Democracy, Advertising for Skeptics, Laughing at Advertising, BadMen: How Advertising Went From A Minor Annoyance To A Major Menace, and Marketers Are From Mars, Consumers Are From New Jersey – all of which have been featured on The Marketing Book Podcast.

He is the creator of the popular “Ad Contrarian” blog, named one of the world's most influential marketing and advertising blogs by Business Insider.

Bob was the CEO of two independent agencies and the U.S. operation of an international agency.

Bob's commentary has appeared in the BBC World Service, The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, MSNBC, The Financial Times, The Australian, New Zealand Public Broadcasting, Fox News, Sky News, Forbes, Canadian Public Broadcasting, and many other news outlets throughout the world.

And, interesting fact – in his youth, he responded to a want ad and was hired to be a writer of adult fiction. He lasted one day at that job.
