The very insightful book that covers everything covers SEO, Pay per click, ad spend, Google analytics, Google ads, Google tag manager, WordPress, Web development, HTML, CSS, and why they are all important. It also has a humorous tone to it so it’s not just dry information.

[Dovydas Jakas]

A perfect book for a digital marketer beginner!

[Venkatesh Raman]

Brilliant read! Unlearn the hard and soft skills in Digital Marketing.

[Rachel Entwistle]

This will give you a head start laying out what you need to know, or fill in any gaps if you’ve been in the field for awhile :)

It is a really solid overview of the different parts of digital marketing for business to consumer marketing, with lots of tricks and tips.

The voice was really fun to read too.

Wish I had read this at the beginning of my career. :)

Overall OK book. 3.5 ratings.
The first half of the book ain’t detailed and I can understand why.
The second half of the book is good, some parts are painfully true. Haha!
I will suggest this book to a beginner rather than a person who has basic knowledge of digital marketing.
I hope my review helped you guys. :)

The book started out strong and then started to lose me as the advice became more generic. I really liked the case studies but there weren't enough of them. Ultimately I came for the search marketing tips, of which there were a few, and I lost interest after that.

[Rob Haan]

This book was really well-written, but had a distracting number of typographic errors and inconsistencies.

[Gina Alward]

Valuable, relevant information!

[Abbey O]

Extremely basic, more basic than I was hoping for. But that’s my fault, not the authors. Good info if you are 101 level in marketing and figuring out what you want to do with your career.
