“Killing Marketing: How Innovative Businesses Are Turning Marketing Cost into Profit” by Joe Pulizzi and Robert Rose challenges conventional marketing wisdom by proposing a radical shift in how businesses approach marketing. The authors argue that traditional marketing strategies are outdated and ineffective, and instead, they advocate for a content-driven approach that transforms marketing from a cost center into a profit center. Through case studies and practical examples, Pulizzi and Rose demonstrate how businesses can create valuable content that not only engages customers but also generates revenue.
