Tips on book marketing fundamentals.

My whole career has been in various corporate multinationals, from assistant brand manager to my current position as marketing director.

Marketing always made sense to me, but marketing is also one of the greatest challenges for most companies and solopreneurs.

Need Fulfilment

Anything that sells anywhere is fulfilling a need. That is the basic foundation of any business activity.
