So many "experts" keep warning us that traditional branding and marketing are dying quick deaths. The massive momentum behind social-networking websites and other new media is certainly having an impact in how people consume and share information. No doubt. But is it really so clear-cut to say that marketing as we know it is dead? Chuck Brymer doesn't think so. Read his book and you will likely agree with him. He offers a logical and compelling argument for a strategic balance between "herd" (mass) and "swarm" (social) marketing. His perspective is rational, realistic, and refreshing.

The hyper-growth of social networking websites and the demand for user-generated content has redefined the concept of brand communities. In this book Chuck Brymer articulates the value of digital brand communities and why they must be factored into the business model and not just marketing strategy. He emphasizes the significance of creating a dialogue with consumers and why engaging them to that end cannot be accomplished solely through "herd" marketing.
