About this audiobook
Cool isn't just a state of mind, a celebrity fad, or an American obsession-it's a business. Combining Gene Pressman's revolutionary creative vision with Noah Kerner's marketing expertise, Chasing Cool digs beneath the surface and reveals how emphasizing long-lasting relevance trumps a fleeting preoccupation with what's hot and what's not.
Although other books have zeroed in on a single aspect of the cool factor, Chasing Cool expands the playing field by including interviews with business icons, in-depth research, and personal anecdotes. This stunning reference includes interviews with more than seventy of today's most respected luminaries, from Tom Ford and Russell Simmons to Richard Meier and Bonnie Fuller. In a multidimensional, entertaining, and imminently readable book that redefines how to appeal to today's savvy consumer, Pressman and Kerner explore the lessons to be learned by America's shortsighted search for the ever-popular concept of cool.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book has given me a lot of insight into what makes smart marketing thrive in todays marketplace. Most books I have read in college deal with the dry and already obvious points. Chasing cool is the complete opposite, something you can really sink your teeth into. I definitely recommend this book.
