Testimonial
“Graham Brown is a marketing whistleblower despised by advertising agencies the world over for sharing
the simple truth that you can’t buy or hurry love…you have to earn it yourself. So if you’re happy to
continue paying for sex that leaves your brand empty on the inside, crying itself to sleep at night, don’t
bother reading this book. However, if you want to build a brand with soul and earn lifetime loyalty from
your consumers then buy all his books before advertising agencies find a way to silence him forever.”
Jamal Benmiloud, Vice President Marketing, Monster Energy Drinks
