A Note to Readers MarketingProfs Book Club Update A week after launching the MarketingProfs Book Club, we are *this close* to 500 members! It appears that old media (books) meets new media (the Web) meets new best practices has caught on, and I’m as proud as a new parent...! Chief Reading Officer Christina Kerley updates the book club happenings here. Some anecdotal highlights: • Book club members hail from six continents. (save Antarctica).
• Members work in companies as diverse as IBM to the NBA, Random House to the House of Blues. Industries include pharmaceuticals, publishing, advertising, entertainment, electronics, manufacturing, media, healthcare, technology, and many more.
• We have Ph D.s and elementary school principals.
• There’s a pretty even split between male and female members. The first 30 members to sign up for the Book Club received free copies of the first tome we’re reading, Citizen Marketers by Ben McConnell and Jackie Huba. If you hadn’t heard from CK by yesterday, Decmeber 11th, you should head over to Amazon--or the book vendor of your choice--and get your read. Please do still take part in the book club even if you need to pay for the book! Group Review is begins January 10th, 2007. Hope you’ll join the fun! And no...it's definitely not too late! If you'd like to join, drop an e-mail to CK with an "I'm in!" at: bookclub@marketingprofs.com. See you there! Ann Handley

'Twas the Night Before THE Big Demo 'Twas the night 'fore the demo and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, 'cept my SE and his mouse;
I'd proposed a big licensing deal with great care
In hopes a big order soon would be there.... |
