Wall Street Journal Bestseller & Instant New York Times Bestseller

A game-changing approach to marketing, sales, and advertising.


For the first time Seth Godin offers the core of his marketing wisdom in one compact, accessible, timeless package. This is Marketing shows you how to do work you're proud of, whether you're a tech startup founder, a small business owner, or part of a large corporation.

No matter what your product or service, this audiobook will help you reframe how it's presented to the world, in order to meaningfully connect with people who want it. Seth employs his signature blend of insight, observation, and memorable examples to teach you:

* How to build trust and permission with your target market.
* The art of positioning--deciding not only who it's for, but who it's not for.
* Why the best way to achieve your goals is to help others become who they want to be.
* Why the old approaches to advertising and branding no longer work.
* The surprising role of tension in any decision to buy (or not).
* How marketing is at its core about the stories we tell ourselves about our social status.

You can do work that matters for people who care. This audiobook shows you the way.

"This Is Marketing is a very accessible way into Godin's thinking.... Godin writes in pacy, jargon-free prose and this book is interesting and useful for anyone who wants an insight into how, and why, we buy things or change our habits in any way." - The Financial Times

If you are in business, you NEED to listen to this

Exceptional introduction in the spirit of marketing. Whilst not rich in the nuts and bolts and how-tos, Seth initiates the reader into the Spirit of marketing, constructing the internal necessary attitude and fundamental understanding that is the bedrock of good, efficient and moral marketing. A must read/listen for anyone who wants to grasp marketing at a deeper level!

“It’s not for you”

A very powerful phrase repeated throughout the book, reminding you that setting a target audience and sticking to it is crucial. And for those that don’t like your product, it’s simple. It’s not for you.

Each chapter gives real world examples of things working and things failing, and it’s absolutely fascinating to pause and think about them.

A refreshing and humane yet effective perspective

This book really made me remember my roots. I'm 27, my business turns over £380,000 and I started it from scratch because I started with the people and their needs both rational and emotional

Seth reminds us that marketing is a humane process that satisfies humans needs

There is no talk of "hacks", "hustle", and limited talk of "funnels" so many of which propose to have a short cut to the goals we all strive to achieve and rely on in desperate times

With limited resources this book reminds me of how to scale whilst putting the "tribe" first. Loved it. A beautiful blend of psychology, sociology, economics and marketing

Nothing but the truth.

I looked forward to listening to this book and I must say, it cast a light into the darkest parts of my fears about being a marketer. It gave me complete and utter joy to hear what my heart has been telling me about my ability to make a change in the world. It loosened the mental shackles of fear that's been stopping me from doing so. Thank you Seth Godin. Much love and appreciation. Kearan Pennells.

Interesting ways of thinking about marketing

Good read. Lots of interesting thoughts around marketing. I did feel at the start that I was being sold to but I guess if you've written a book about marketing, you're bound to do that.

At last! A must listen!

Realistic!
Listen and take the knowledge in
Believe in yourself!
Focus on who you are really trying to impress, them or you?
Build trust, build a community and remember when you see that smile you are starting something great!
Find a way to help others not yourself!

Intuitive Marketing

Seth tells it like it should be told by an expert in the field. He shows you that what he says has been tried and tested by himself and many other successful marketers and proved to fail or work. Many of the ways he talks about in this book could have been thought about by even yourself but considered to be not that important to use. He is not shy to say what our minds have been telling us to stop interrupting and start Marketing. This book has become my manual and I intend to keep referencing it in my work. I recommend you pick it up.
