About the book
Mark Hughes draws on his work as an executive and consultant to explain how to get people talking about a product at a time when audiences increasingly skip advertising. His case stories include American Idol, tie-dye shirts and the launch of Lite beer.
Ben & Jerry's co-founder Ben Cohen endorsed it as real marketing for real people, and Forbes editor-in-chief Steve Forbes praised it as both entertaining and practical for large brands and start-ups.
