Imagine a world where all the news you see is defined by your salary, where you live, and who your friends are. Imagine a world where you never discover new ideas. And where you can't have secrets.

Welcome to 2011.

Google and Facebook are already feeding you what they think you want to see. Advertisers are following your every click. Your computer monitor is becoming a one-way mirror, reflecting your interests and reinforcing your prejudices.

The internet is no longer a free, independent space. It is commercially controlled and ever more personalised. The Filter Bubble reveals how this hidden web is starting to control our lives - and shows what we can do about it.

For courses in Internet Marketing or E-marketing

This book teaches marketers how to engage and listen to buyers, and how to use what they learn to improve their offerings in today’s Internet- and social media-driven marketing environment. It brings traditional marketing coverage up-to-date with a thorough, incisive look at e-marketing planning and marketing mix tactics from a strategic and tactical perspective. The focus is on the Internet and other technologies that have had a profound effect on how marketing is approached today. Included is coverage of marketing planning; legal and global environments; e-marketing strategy; and marketing mix and customer relationship management strategy and implementation issues.

A major revision, this seventh edition reflects the disruption to the marketing field brought about by social media. As such it covers many new topics that represent the changes in e-marketing practice in the past two years. Because of the ever-changing landscape of the Internet, the authors suggest reading this book, studying the material, and then going online to learn more about topics of interest.

Features:

Better understanding of new concepts in today’s electronic marketplace is accomplished as the book puts that new terminology into traditional marketing frameworks.

Readers are encouraged to exercise critical thinking and attention to their own online behavior in order to better understanding the e-marketer’s perspective, strategies, and tactics–to think like a marketer.

Although the focus is on e-marketing in the United States, readers also see a global perspective in the coverage of market developments in both emerging and developed nations.

An entire chapter devoted to law and ethics, and contributed by a practicing attorney, updates readers on the latest changes in this critical area.

Readers are guided in learning a number of e-marketing concepts with the help of some outstanding pedagogical features:

-Learning objectives set the pace and the goals for the material in each chapter.
-Best practices from real companies tell success stories, including new examples of firms doing it right.
-Graphical frameworks serve as unique e-marketing visual models illustrating how each chapter fits among others.
-Chapter summaries help readers review and refresh the material covered.
-Key terms are identified in bold text within the chapter to alert readers to their importance.
-Review and discussion questions are another device to be used for refreshing readers’ understanding of the material in the chapter.
-Web activities at the end of each chapter help readers become further involved in the content.
-This revision reflects the disruption to the marketing field based on social media. A major revision from the sixth edition, it includes many new topics, as dictated by changes in e-marketing practice in the past two years.
-Three important Appendices include internet adoption statistics, a thorough glossary, and book references.

"Ideas move mountains, especially in turbulent times. Lovemarks is the product of the fertile-iconoclast mind of Kevin Roberts, CEO Worldwide of Saatchi & Saatchi. Roberts argues vociferously, and with a ton of data to support him, that traditional branding practices have become stultified. What's needed are customer Love affairs. Roberts lays out his grand scheme for mystery, magic, sensuality, and the like in his gloriously designed book Lovemarks."
--Tom Peters

Tom Peters, one of the most influential business thinkers of all time, described the first edition of Lovemarks: the future beyond brands as "brilliant." He also announced it as the "Best Business Book" published in the first five years of this century. Now translated into fourteen languages, with more than 150,000 copies in print, Lovemarks is back in a revised edition featuring a new chapter on the peculiarly human experience of shopping.

The new chapter, "Diamonds in the Mine," is an insightful collection of ideas for producers and consumers, for owners of small stores and operators of superstores. So forget making lists! Shopping, says Kevin Roberts, is an emotional event. With this as a starting point, he looks at the history of shopping and how it has changed so dramatically over the last ten years. Using the Lovemark elements of Mystery, Sensuality, and Intimacy, Roberts delves into the secrets of success that can be used to create the ultimate shopping experience.

The second edition of Think #Digital First is an updated, and revised version of the original “Marketing Book Of The Year Finalist”; Think #Digital First.

Information I had previously shared around the social networks had changed. The tools I had shared were either no longer in business, or had been outperformed by competitors. I knew that because the online world had evolved, that I also wanted to completely re-write the book, and bring it as up-to-date as possible.

Think #Digital First Second Edition is a workbook designed for creative entrepreneurs, business owners and sales and marketing managers that shares with them the importance of having the right mindset to focus on technology, sales and marketing.

I have analysed exactly what my audience wants from me, and I have taken what was a readable book, and turned it into a workbook. The way you learn has evolved, and I knew that I needed to do something different and unique. The second edition of Think #Digital First is a unique combination of how-to’s and real-time worksheet implementation.

An argument that the material arrangements of information-how it is represented and interpreted-matter significantly for our experience of information and information systems. Virtual entities that populate our digital experience, like e-books, virtual worlds, and online stores, are backed by the large-scale physical infrastructures of server farms, fiber optic cables, power plants, and microwave links. But another domain of material constraints also shapes digital living: the digital representations sketched on whiteboards, encoded into software, stored in databases, loaded into computer memory, and transmitted on networks. These digital representations encode aspects of our everyday world and make them available for digital processing. The limits and capacities of those representations carry significant consequences for digital society. In The Stuff of Bits, Paul Dourish examines the specific materialities that certain digital objects exhibit. He presents four case studies: emulation, the creation of a "virtual" computer inside another; digital spreadsheets and their role in organizational practice; relational databases and the issue of "the databaseable"; and the evolution of digital networking and the representational entailments of network protocols. These case studies demonstrate how a materialist account can offer an entry point to broader concerns-questions of power, policy, and polity in the realm of the digital.
