Discovering Truth:
How to Navigate Between Fact & Fiction in an Overwhelming Social Media World
by Tim Love
Discovering Truth is an insight-filled exploration of the role of media in communications and how today's social media affects trust in institutions and divides an increasingly polarized society. From the rise of fake news to destabilizing foreign and domestic extremist content, more information does not necessarily lead to more facts. Through the voices of experts and the efforts of an author whose long career is dedicated to marketing communications, Discovering Truth reveals how people have struggled throughout history in seeking and defining truth whenever new forms of communication influenced our values, culture, and the ways in which we receive and impart information. Importantly, author Tim Love offers ways to navigate the discovery of truth in a world where technology platforms instantaneously share and feed misinformation.
In addition to the experiences of the author, Discovering Truth draws inspiration from business legends like Paul Polman—former CEO of Unilever, John Pepper—former Chairman of Procter & Gamble and The Walt Disney Company, and Keith Reinhard—Chairman Emeritus of DDB Worldwide, as well as contemporary leaders like Facebook's Will Platt-Higgins, VP Global Clients, Stephan Loerke—CEO of WFA/World Federation of Advertisers, Wally Snyder—Executive Director of the Institute for Advertising Ethics, Harvard Business School Professor Jeffrey Rayport and Dr. Augustine Fou, Cybersecurity, Anti-Ad Fraud Consultant and also includes perspective on the subject of truth from renowned ethologist Jane Goodall, founder of the Jane Goodall Institute.

Release the Power of Entangled Marketing:
Moving Beyond Engagement
By Sebastian Jespersen and Stan Rapp
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 lockstep focus on engagement when advanced digital technology makes anything imaginable--truly doable. The book introduces many 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.
