Groundswell: Winning in a World Transformed by Social Technologies
Corporate executives struggle to harness the power of social technologies. Twitter, Facebook, blogs, YouTube are where customers discuss products and companies, write their own news, and find their own deals but how do you integrate these activities into your broader marketing efforts? It’s an unstoppable groundswell that affects every industry yet it’s still utterly foreign to most companies running things now. When consumers you’ve never met are rating your company’s products in public forums with which you have no experience or influence, your company is vulnerable. In Groundswell, Josh Bernoff and Charlene Li show how leading companies are gaining insights, generating revenues, saving money, and energizing their own customers. Whether you’re in marketing, research, support, sales, development, or even running the whole enterprise, there’s targeted advice here for you, backed up with real-world ROI to prove it works. Groundswell is based on hard consumer data and experience with dozens of companies, large and small, from Procter & Gamble to Ernst & Young to a tiny but wildly successful winery in South Africa. Hoping to learn how to take advantage of communities, blogs, wikis, Facebook, or YouTube? We’ve got lots of examples with proof they work. You can’t ignore this trend. Read Groundswell and learn how to ride the wave. There’s no going back. Order the Expanded and Revised Paperback copy from Booktopia today and save 39% off the retail price.

Here’s what people are saying:
| “This book will rock your world, if social technology hasn’t rocked it already. It’s a tsunami of unstoppable force. Amazon, Procter & Gamble, Facebook, Google, and Dell are profiting from the crest of the wave. Are you? Li and Bernoff are the apostles of the tsunami. This book will be your bible.”
— Scott Cook, Founder and Chairman of the Executive Committee, Intuit |
| “This is recommended reading for people in any kind of web marketing role.”
— Guy Kawasaki |
| “The first phase of the Internet was about getting everyone connected. In this next phase, which changes the way we work, live, play and learn, we’re starting to realise the value of those connections as well as the new communications and experiences those interactions lead to — the ‘human network.’ Groundswell effectively documents this shift and underscores the opportunities available to all from this major market transition.”
— John T. Chambers, Chairman and CEO, Cisco Systems |
| “Internet-style communication tools change organisational communication completely, providing a means for workers to run organisations more effectively. Groundswell describes how this can happen in any organisation, focusing on the human issues, which is the hard part.”
— Craig Newmark, Founder, craigslist.org |
| “Groundswell is a comprehensive look at the tidal wave of change engulfing marketers. Nobody should attempt to engage the newly empowered and emboldened consumer without first hearing what Li and Bernoff have to say on the subject.”
— Clark Kokich, CEO, Avenue A | Razorfish |
| “Groundswell provides practical advice on how to stay nimble and flexible in an ever-morphing digital world. Enabling your company to respond to change quickly — especially when talking to and supporting your consumers — is essential for business success.”
— Cathie Black, President, Hearst Magazines |

BOOKED for Lunch – Niche: Why the Market No Longer Favours the Mainstream
August 31, 2011

Our cultural consumption is no longer controlled by the giants of the mainstream market.
Many giants have become weak and defensive – hovering around the middle of the market and striking out wildly in search of new audiences.
In his new book, Niche, James Harkin explains that no size fits all and that anyone who tries to be all things to everyone ends up as nothing to anyone.
James argues that innovation and profitability are quietly moving from the middle of the market to a series of tightly defined but globally scattered niches, bound together by the reach of the net.
This represents an excellent opportunity for many businesses. We invite you to join us on 29 September when James Harkin, author of Niche: Why the Market No Longer Favours the Mainstream is our guest for BOOKED for Lunch – Free webinars with the world’s leading business book authors and thinkers.

James Harkin
James Harkin is the author of the books Niche and Cyburbia. He lives in London and writes regularly for the Financial Times and The Guardian, and has also written for the London Review of Books and Newsweek.

Niche: Why the Market No Longer Favours the Mainstream
An eye-opening analysis of why big business has failed to sell to the mainstream. There is a new rule in business: don’t aim for the middle market – unless you’re cheaper than cheap, you’re going to fail. Instead, find a Niche and reap the rewards. Woolworths suffered from a lack of identity and found that low quality and low price wasn’t enough; General Motors crashed as motorists failed to distinguish between cars in their range. Yet HBO, Moleskine and specialist media like The Economist have all concentrated on being the best they can be – and customers have flocked to them as a result. For sixty years, our cultural consumption has been controlled by the giants of the mass market. But thanks to the recession, they have become weak and defensive and are now in a desperate fight for their lives. From this new cultural terrain, the niche has evolved to become the place where innovation flourishes and sales take off. From the author of CYBURBIA comes a superb examination of the growing proportion of economic, political and cultural activity – aimed not at the mainstream audience, but at tightly defined but globally scattered niches, bound together by the power of the net. |
Here’s what people are saying:
| “Send the internet gurus back to the basement. Niche has arrived. Level-headed but optimistic, Niche is a business plan for the brain, and a manifesto for quality”
— Michael Wolff, author and columnist, Vanity Fair |
| “Fascinating stories, some big thoughts and an intriguing argument”
— Evan Davis, BBC presenter, Today and Dragons’ Den |
| “A fascinating examination of the evolution of the consumer counter culture…Packed with historical context and fascinating economic analysis, Niche is both informative and highly accessible via a range of anecdotal and statistical evidence. In the cut throat world of niche markets, the ability to adapt has never been more important.”
— Business Destinations Magazine |
| “An excellent and timely explanation of how, in terms of what consumers buy, big and mainstream is over and niche is in. Harkin illustrates his thesis that the future belongs to not necessarily small but certainly perfectly formed and expertise-driven products with a highly original overview of cars, coffee, notebooks, computers and media.”

Guy Kawasaki tells us how to be more enchanting – Enchantment
June 30, 2011
In preparation for my interview with Guy Kawasaki, author of numerous book, his latest being Enchantment – The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds and Actions, I’ve been reviewing the book and writing my questions.
In reviewing the key areas of the book I’m thrilled to be able to ask Guy first hand:
- How do we become more enchanting (likable, trustworthy, engaging and ethically influential)?
- How do we enchant while maintaining our integrity and a good sense of self (smarmy influences irk me as I’m sure they irk you!)
- What technology tools can we use to make this job easier. (I know that now, more than ever we have access to free communication tools – so how do we use them to enchant and not repel our audience?
There’s a whole lot more that we’ll talk about – including how he ended up having Richard Branson shining his shoes!
And, we’ll have a LIVE Q&A so that you can ask Guy your questions too!
Join us today, 30 June, at 12.00pm AEST.
You can register here. It’s free.
Today’s interview is part of the BOOKED for Lunch series. BOOKED for Lunch are free lunch time webinars with the world’s leading business book authors and thinkers – brought to you by Citrix GoToWebinar and the Australian Businesswomen’s Network.

Guerrilla Marketing + Social Media = Amazing Results
August 3, 2010
How do you apply the time-proven strategies of guerrilla marketing to the new media landscape? How do you measure your social media results? Why should you social media be part of an integrated plan, and just how DO you put together a social media plan that is true guerilla-style, and produces results.
Today at 12.00pm AEST Jay Conrad Levinson, the father of Guerrilla Marketing and his co author Shane Gibson are my guests on BOOKED for Lunch. BOOKED for Lunch are free lunch-time webinars with the world’s leading business book authors and thinkers.
During the webinar we’ll look at how to apply social media in an innovative, guerrilla fashion, to target and listen to what the author calls “nano-tribes” and communities.
We’ll also look at the often-asked question – of how do you measure the ROI of your Social Media.
“Guerrilla Marketing is about achieving conventional goals using unconventional methods. Today, more than any other time in history we have an almost limitless arsenal of free to nearly free marketing tools at our fingertips. These tools are the new media marketing tools called social media.” - Jay Conrad Levinson
I’m very excited about this webinar. The subjects (guerrilla marketing and social media) are personal favourites, passions, in fact.
Plus I’ve been a big fan Jay Conrad Levinson’s work for many, many years.
