Video - The New Rules of Marketing and PR with David Meerman Scott
Nov 10, 2022In this GYDA Talks, Robert talks to David Meerman Scott about 'The New Rules of Marketing & PR'.
David Meerman Scott spotted the real-time marketing revolution in its infancy and wrote five books about it including, The New Rules of Marketing and PR - now in a new 8th edition - with more than 425,000 copies sold in English and available in 29 languages from Albanian to Vietnamese.
Now, David says the pendulum has swung too far in the direction of superficial online communications. Tech-weary and bot-wary people are hungry for true human connection. Organisations have learned to win by developing what David calls a “Fanocracy” - (the subject of his Wall Street Journal bestseller) - tapping into the mindset that relationships with customers are more important than the products they sell to them.
He is a massive live music fan, having been to 804 live shows since he was 15 years old, is passionate about the Apollo lunar program, and he loves to surf but isn't very good at it.
