This is Marketing: You Can't Be Seen Until You Learn To See

This is Marketing is an essential guide that shares a game-changing approach to marketing, sales, and advertising. In this book, marketing guru Seth Godin offers the core of his marketing wisdom in one compact, accessible, timeless package. At the core of his approach is a big idea: Great marketers don't use consumers to solve their company's problem; they use marketing to solve other people's problems. This is Marketing teaches you how to identify your smallest viable audience; draw on the right signals and signs to position your offering; build trust and permission with your target market; speak to the narratives your audience tells themselves about status, affiliation, and dominance; spot opportunities to create and release tension; and give people the tools to achieve their goals. This is Marketing offers a better approach that will still apply for decades to come, no matter how the tactics of marketing continue to evolve.

THIS BOOK TEACHES YOU:

  • How to build trust and permission with your target market.

  • The art of positioning–deciding not only who it’s for, but who it’s not for.

  • Why the best way to achieve your goals is to help others become who they want to be.

  • Why the old approaches to advertising and branding no longer work.

  • The surprising role of tension in any decision to buy (or not).

  • How marketing is at its core about the stories we tell ourselves about our social status.
