    <body><![CDATA[When I first picked up this book, I thought &quot;Oh no... a book on branding.&quot; I believe the world has seen a transition from a marketer owning the brand to the world (via Internet) owning a brand.  However, James Connor tells a compelling story about the value of brands.<br/><br/>That's only a portion of the book, though.  The book isn't a step for step guide, rather it's told in a story format, as if James was consulting with a real client (which it could have been).  This makes the book easy to read and much more memorable - with time to bring up all the arguments that a typical CEO might have.<br/><br/>Connor walks through all the important factors in planning your corporate marketing strategy - including SEO, the web, and most importantly - measuring Return on your Marketing Investment.  It's a fantastic book that every CEO, President or CMO should pick up.]]></body>
