The rules of marketing have changed. The Internet has put the power back in the customers’ hands to find products and services they are interested in. So, the key to reaching today’s customers isn’t pushing at them to buy, but pulling them in from search engines, social networking sites and the blogosphere: inbound.

Halligan provides a comprehensive "get found" strategic framework, explaining why and how start-ups need to rethink their marketing strategies from the bottom up to stay competitive and thrive in a dramatically changing market.

“The MasterClass with a leading visionary was extremely lively and stimulating. The ability to interact with the speaker and other audience members from around the world in real time made this event more engaging than many in person talks I've attended.” - Ofer Sharone Ph.D., Prof at MIT Sloan School of Management, Cambridge, MA

"If you have more brains than money, you should focus on inbound marketing by reading this book." - Guy Kawasaki, founder of Garage Technology Ventures, and author of the bestsellers "Reality Check" and "The Art of the Start"
