CEO and founder of Vertic Sebastian Jespersen is an innovator, a business strategist, and a breakthrough digital thinker. He founded independent digital agency Vertic over a decade ago; today it has a footprint on three continents and serves some of the world's best-known global marketers and brands. Both a digital guru and evangelist, he has successfully taken a start-up from the birth of the online marketing era through to the advertising world's new Internet battleground. All while shepherding Vertic to extraordinary year-on-year growth and profitability. Clients include Microsoft, SAP, Vestas, GE, Novo Nordisk, GSK and PayPal. Sebastian's pre-Vertic years as a management consultant in Europe and Asia underscore a multinational, analytical problem-solving point of view. This contrast with common creative or technical leadership found at most ad agencies today. His interpretation of social business, data, targeting and the bridging of marketing to sales - as well as his revolutionary application of this understanding to new platforms like LinkedIn - makes him a leader in today's fast paced, complex marketing world.

Klappentext

Entangled Marketing is the new business model for building a supportive, enduring and mutually-rewarding customer relationship. Sebastian Jespersen and Stan Rapp have created this thought-provoking business and marketing model through their vision of entangling the brand and the consumer in an unbreakable, ongoing relationship. They find fault with today's lock-step focus on engagement when advanced digital technology makes anything imaginable--truly doable. The book introduces a number of groundbreaking ideas centered around the ways a brand can provide meaning and value to customers to keep them in an ongoing relationship for life. The reader will be taken on a journey from the twentieth century's arm's-length relationships to the twenty-first century's "Zero Degrees of Separation." The authors maintain that bottom-line results improve exponentially when brand and customer act as a "one-plus-one" twosome. The ability to release the power of entangled marketing changes one's thinking about how marketing can work best in the digital age.
