"Throughout the chapters, excellent, to-the-point vignettes and candid interviews vividly illustrate the ways in which today’s diverse organizations creatively embrace the integration of technology and social networking into their marketing mix. From advertising to the mantra of "you only live once," Britton has his finger on the pulse, whatever it may be called, of the shifting ethos and ideals that is and will be the manifesto and road map of this new culture."
