Join the Conversation: How to Engage Marketing-Weary Consumers with the Power of Community, Dialogue, and Partnership

By Joseph Jaffe

With the continued fragmentation of the media and proliferation of media options, the balance of power has shifted from the marketer to the individual. In Join the Conversation, Jaffe discusses the changing role of the consumer and how marketers must adapt by joining the rich, deep and meaningful conversation already in progress. This book reveals what marketers must do to become a welcome and invited part of the dialogue, and how to leverage and integrate the resulting partnership in ways that provide win-win situations for businesses, brands and lives.

Reviews for Join the Conversation

[crosbyc_1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

The book starts as a discussion written in a casual blog-like style, giving examples but often expecting the reader to already be familiar with some of the concepts covered. The real "meat" of the book is in the last third, where Jaffe explores sophisticated systems for introducing conversation with consumers into an organization's marketing plan.
