5.0 out of 5 stars A timely and thought provoking read, July 18, 2009
By Donald E. Procknow (Doylestown, Pa.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is an excellent book which should be a timely and valuable resource to company executives and can also be of interest to consumers, as well.

The reader will certainly understand that marketing has changed a great deal in the past 10 years. The use of the internet as a marketing tool has greatly contributed to this.

The book is well-researched, and Dick Martin has captured the views of leading marketing experts in successful companies and executive search organizations.

It is astonishing to learn the measures that marketing experts are taking these days to delve more deeply into the habits, needs, and social settings of customers and potential customers. The author also points out that marketing is more than building a marketing department. Successful marketing involves nearly all of the various departments in a company working together to build a marketing culture in tune with goals and objectives of the CEO.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great read!, June 18, 2009
By CLB (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews
The Secrets of the Marketing Masters is like attending that dream marketing conference (that most of us cannot afford) and then being handed a set of notes that synthesize all of the major themes. It's an easy and informative read and will provide inspiration to both experienced and novice marketers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Secret Sauce, July 30, 2009
By J. Johnson (Madison, NJ USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This insider's look at marketing mavens' most successful techniques should be called "Secret Sauce Revealed." This is really an excellent guide for anyone who is, or wants or needs to be, strong in marketing - at every level within a corporation with major league brands. But, maybe most importantly, senior officers (including, especially, finance and accounting folks who often are clueless in this area) should read this book to understand that their business, just like every successful business, is first and foremost a marketing machine. If they don't understand that fact, and put it at the core of what they do every day, they - and, eventually, their company - will not be around for long.
