Satellite marketing uses multiple social media sites as a series of marketing sub-stations or "satellites." Each satellite is a stand-alone marketing effort, which means that if and when your prospects are engaged, they are being introduced to your brand, your product and services, and your community of users. Prospects presented with a call to action through satellite marketing are more likely to act because they are actively engaged with your message. Identifying opportunities for social media within integrated marketing communications, Satellite Marketing outlines a proven process to help you create an actionable strategic plan based on measurable goals. It provides business owners, CEOs, CMOs, and sales people with a comprehensive strategy for leveraging new media and integrating it with conventional marketing tactics. Traditional marketing is still important, and the context of social media will make traditional tactics more effective. Dispelling many of the myths surrounding social media, this book will help you: Develop an effective social media strategy to boost sales and brand awareness Identify and target relevant markets Create, deploy, and maintain effective satellites Measure the success of your satellite marketing campaigns The book explains why successful marketing has evolved from product-centric to customer-centric. It presents valuable lessons learned from established communications channels that apply to social media. It also details a step-by-step process to help you identify measurable goals, better understand your audience, create a strategy, select the appropriate social media, build engagement, develop a communications plan, and monitor performance. This book is written by Kevin Popovic, the Founder of Ideahaus (R). Mr. Popovic is a speaker, educator, and was recently named a Top 20 Digital Marketing Strategist for 2015 by the Online Marketing Institute.

Woven throughout is Alex's own entrepreneurial story-the unconventional career path she took to ultimately start her business, Vann Alexandra, thanks to crowdfunding. And she will take readers deep into her most successful campaigns, showing them how she helped them get funded. As someone who's spent lots of time in the trenches, she has learned the hard way how to communicate and connect with people on the Internet-and offers tangible tools to run your own crowdfunding campaigns.

WINNER: CMI Management Book of the Year Awards 2018 - Management Futures Category Building Digital Culture aims to answer a simple question: How can organizations succeed when the environment they operate in is changing so quickly? The last thing businesses need today is a digital strategy. Instead, their strategy needs to be fit for our fast-changing digital world, where businesses have more data than they know what to do with, a media landscape that's exploded in size and complexity, the risk of a new disruption around every corner, and only one certainty: that this change won't let up. Building Digital Culture doesn't address whether or not you should advertize on Facebook or invest in virtual reality. It doesn't seek to unearth a silver bullet to make digital investments a sure-thing. It steps back from the hype, and argues that whatever digital might mean for your business, if you don't create a digital culture you'll most likely fail, or at least fall short of what you want to achieve. Combining more than 30 years of experience at the forefront of marketing and digital developments, and based on more than 200 hours of research, candid interviews and contributions from brands including Twitter, Deloitte, HSBC and many more, Building Digital Culture will help you navigate from being a business that tolerates or acts digital, to one that truly is digital.

Today's digital economy is uniquely dependent on the Internet, yet few users or decision makers have more than a rudimentary understanding of the myriad of online risks that threaten us. Cyber crime is one of the main threats to the integrity and availability of data and systems. From insiders to complex external attacks and industrial worms, modern business faces unprecedented challenges; and while cyber security and digital intelligence are the necessary responses to this challenge, they are understood by only a tiny minority.

He describes in plain, non-technical language how cyber crime has evolved and the nature of the very latest threats. He confronts issues that are not addressed by codified rules and practice guidelines, supporting this with over 30 valuable illustrations and tables. Written for the non-technical layman and the high tech risk manager alike, the book also explores countermeasures, penetration testing, best practice principles, cyber conflict and future challenges.
