This is my 408 page book that makes the intellectual case for search and social as a unified displine, but also for the concept of "real time content marketing." It also goes beyond the basic philosophy of search and social, and goes deep into the weeds of execution, tactics, and logistics. I am very pleased with the outcome of the book, as I find many marketers are reading it from cover-to-cover, many businesses are implenting the ideas as their core strategy, and educators are also using the book as a university text. Overall, there is something for every marketer or student in this book, no matter if they are a beginner or advanced practioner or strategist. I believe it is different from every other marketing book on the market in terms of approach, and I hope you will check it out.
