Not only has he been able to improve on our ideas, but he’s a fount of new ideas, insights and industry contacts that have really made the difference for us. I can recommend him without any reservations.” George Norment “...Brings Strategic Thinking And Creativity Together...” “Rick is one of the few people I know who understands three of the most important emerging marketing channels: mobile, social, and branded games and experiences. And he understands – uniquely, I’d argue – how they can and should fit together. He’s helped us help our customers take digital marketing to a whole new level. Part of the reason he’s so good is because he brings strategic thinking and creativity together. It’s difficult enough to find one or the other; it’s powerful to find both together. We’ve seen him time and again offer that terrific insight, or that breakthrough idea, that will bring brand initiatives to life. I’ve had the pleasure of working with Rick on both internal and external communications initiatives for our company – and I think he has helped elevate our game, focus our efforts, and spread the word like never before.

In this new world of ‘consumer time,’ marketers need to bond with consumers in ways that go beyond a mere iPhone or gaming application— just another passing fancy that won’t stay relevant. Rick Mathieson’s THE ON-DEMAND BRAND is truly a must-read for marketers who need to cut through the clutter to gain a deeper understanding of their consumers, spot trends and predict outcomes.” Conor Brady “…An Essential Read…” “This is an essential read for those of us tasked with connecting and engaging with the elusive ‘I want it right now’ generation. Anyone interested in not sucking at their jobs should pick this book up immediately!” Jordan Atlas “…Excellent…” “The consumers of yesteryear—a captive audience glued to “mandatory” commercials during a weekday sitcom—are long gone. Today’s consumers dodge ads whenever they can, watching streaming video, immersing themselves in online content, and becoming more and more removed from traditional advertising. And today’s marketers are desperate to connect with this elusive, increasingly ad-resistant consumer republic. Madison Avenue has had to struggle to keep up, and Mathieson (Branding Unbound) has excellent ideas for how it can. A brand is a story, and it’s a company’s job to find a way to make it compelling. Advertisers need to start thinking more like programmers, considering more creative content for their audiences. The most successful campaigns of late have spoken to consumers in a way that's interesting and engaging beyond the scope of the product itself … or possess shock-value … or provide entertainment beyond the scope of the hard sell. Through persuasive arguments and Q&A”s with the major players in advertising, Mathieson makes an excellent case for greater creativity and outside-the-box thinking backed up with solid ideas.” Publishers Weekly “…I Loved This Book…” “So much, in fact, that I quoted from it several times in the 4th edition of my own advertising book, 'Hey Whipple, Squeeze This: The Classic Guide to Creating Great Advertising.' I also use it in the classes I teach at the Savannah College of Art & Design. Really good stuff.” Luke Sullivan “…Deserves a Spot on Every Marketer’s Bookshelf…” “Well-written, and extremely interesting... Truly a banquet of new, fresh ideas, Mathieson’s book deserves a spot on every marketer’s bookshelf.” Inland Empire Business Journal “…One Heck of a Well-Written Book…” “Mathieson concisely pulls together what every business savvy marketer needs to know in one heck of a well-written book.” Camille Benoit “…It’s
an On-Demand “Rick
Mathieson’s latest book is a great how-to tool for learning,

Spanning social media, augmented reality, advergames, virtual worlds, digital outdoor, mobile marketing, and more, this book reveals 10 essential secrets for capitalizing on the right mix of digital channels and experiences for any brand.” Marketing Sherpa “…A Must Read…” “Mathieson’s ‘10 Rules for Digital Marketing Success in an Anytime, Everywhere World’ make this a must-read for anyone grappling with how to make the iPhone-toting, Facebook-hopping, Twitter-tapping, I-want-what-I-want, how-I-want-it-generation sit up and pay attention. More than just digital marketing, he aims to open marketers’ eyes and spark their imaginations with innovative examples to help the reader navigate not just social networking, but augmented reality, advergames, virtual worlds, digital outdoor, mobile marketing, and more.” BrandChannel “... “Mathieson discusses many topics, such as product placement replacing TV advertising, and to not “just sell a product, sell the problem it solves, the feeling it gives, the status it conveys, or the values it embodies.”(p. 97) You know the author has a vast body of experience in this field by the stories that fill every page. The book is replete with real-world examples— those that worked, those that didn’t work, and why... I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in marketing in the coming decade.” Leo Mallette
