Marketing in the Round: How to Develop an Integrated Marketing Campaign in the Digital Era

“Dietrich and Livingston have given us a practical guide and checklist for organizations to tear down the organizational silos that stand in the way of getting successful marketing results in a networked media age.”
--Beth Kanter, coauthor of Networked Nonprofit 

“Dietrich and Livingston’s latest book, Marketing in the Round, provides readers with an inspiring view into the pragmatic science of seventeenth-century Japanese martial combat and its keen relevance to the reinvigorated practice of ‘Integrated Marketing Communications’ (IMC). The authors teach new empathetic and ubiquitous campaign strategies that bring IMC well into the twenty-first century. Comprehensive social and traditional media strategies are delivered ‘in the round,’ providing practitioners with credible and meaningful tactics, unrestricted by conventional limits of reach and frequency.”
--Mark Meudt, vice president of communications and marketing for General Dynamics; author of “Supporting Uncle Sam: Ideas for a Unique Integrated Communications Strategy,” Northwestern University, Medill School, Journal of Integrated Marketing Communications, 2011

--Leo Bottary, vice president public affairs, Vistage International; adjunct professor, Seton Hall University, Master of Arts in strategic communication and leadership (MASCL) program
