Riassunto

<div><div><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Many companies still see marketing as a cost, not an investment, and it tops the list of types of expenditure most likely to go in a downturn. According to proven business strategist Antony Young, marketing is about creating positive value for a business or brand by demonstrating cost versus return.&#160; Young and co-author Lucy Aitken propose a radical change in marketing philosophy to an investment-led approach whose focus is value, not cost. &#160;The book introduces investment disciplines and strategies to marketing practices and gives insight into how marketers have delivered outstanding marketing return on investment (ROI) for the companies. Finally, it provides a blueprint to maximize the returns from marketing communications.</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">&#160;</p><p style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Drawing from case studies and their own experience, the authors show how marketing can work as part of a wider business strategy and prove that marketing can give customers, staff and shareholders good reason to stay loyal to companies.</p></div></div>
