A Harvard company assessment Top-10 enterprise e-book of 2001Gonzo advertising is a knuckle-whitening journey to where the place social feedback, biting satire, and critical trade meet--and the place the outmoded beliefs of mass advertising and broadcast media are being left within the dirt. Invoking the spirit of gonzo journalism, Locke rails opposed to company practices that deal with consumers like livestock, and urges agents of all stripes to faucet into Web-based groups, or "micromarkets," in response to candor, belief, ardour, and a basic disdain for whatever that smacks of company smugness. Gonzo advertising and marketing indicates how businesses that aid and advertise those groups could have every little thing they've continually sought after: larger marketplace percentage, consumer loyalty, and model fairness. Laced with Locke's inimitable wit and penetrating viewpoint, Gonzo advertising is the raucous warning sign that nobody in business--from the trading-room flooring to the boardroom--can have enough money to disregard.
