Is traditional marketing definitely dead? For most observers in the marketing and communications fields, it is less and less efficient, and consumers are more and more reluctant to its methods. In this context, implicative marketing is a breakthrough: it allows students and professionals to imagine new ways of promoting products and services, based on peer-to-peer principles instead of top-down communications. A precious contribution by Florence Touze. - Herve Monier, brandnewsblog.com This book invents a new and more responsible mission for marketing. Based on a critical analysis of the current role of marketing in the vast majority of companies, it describes emerging practices and makes concrete suggestions for a marketing that contributes to a positive social and environmental impact. - Andre Sobczak, associate dean for faculty and research, Audencia Business School
