Story
Black Ops Advertising dissects this rapid rise of "sponsored content," a strategy whereby advertisers have become publishers and publishers create advertising - all under the guise of unbiased information. Covert selling, mostly in the form of native advertising and content marketing, has so blurred the lines between editorial content and marketing message that it is next to impossible to tell real news from paid endorsements.

Today's most successful businesses are storydoers. They create products and services that, from the very beginning, are manifestations of an authentic and meaningful story - one told primarily through action, not advertising. In True Story, creative executive Ty Montague argues that any business, regardless of size or industry, can embrace the principles of storydoing. Indeed, our best-run companie - from small start-ups to global conglomerates - organize around a coherent narrative that is then broadcast through every action they take (from product design to customer service to marketing).

GOOD GLIMPSE @ YOUTH CULTURE; AUTHOR'S EGO IRKSOME
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
The book describes Millennial culture which sources Daily Show, Facebook, Instagram, SnapChat, LinkedIn etc to view peers, brands, politics & current events. Very interesting.
However the author's repetitive self-congratulation on his PR firm & it's ability to market to youth strongly turned me off. I don't know if it was there for filler,or to satisfy his narcissism.
Profit was the book's motive--how to understand the younger generation and use that info to market to them as successfully as possible. How to attract and retain them as employees with dog-friendly workspaces, wall-free offices and a full time barista.
I appreciate his cultural information, but the lion's share of thh book is devoted to branding and selling by appealing to YouthNations tastes and values.
What does Joe Knezevich bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Narration was well-done; pleasant, credible voice.
