About the book

Over the past years, the internet has evolved from a static to a social platform. This evolution has an impact on the way consumers communicate and take purchasing decisions. Unfortunately, most advertisers have failed to evolve along.

Traditional advertising no longer works. Advertisers need to change their day-to-day working methods. The gap between the contemporary consumer and the traditional advertiser is growing on a daily basis.

The book also goes beyond theory alone. It also offers practical tools to start your change process within 48 hours. You will find concrete tips to move your business strategy into the direction of conversation management. You will find numerous practical online tools to help you in your new role: the Conversation Manager.
