What does it take to thrive in the digital age as a professional, expert or business owner? 81% of all buyers turn to the Internet to research the products and services they want to purchase. The question is: can you make yourself stand out during this search? This is where your 'personal brand' comes in. But how do you sell when you are the product? A decade ago, author Francine Beleyi became obsessed with these questions as she left her corporate job to start her consultancy: -Why are some people constantly given lucrative opportunities, advance faster in life, and are out there crushing it? -How to identify and package the unique value you can offer to others, and deliver it consistently? -How to build credibility as an expert in your chosen speciality and attract lucrative opportunities rather than chase them? As a business owner, coach, trainer, consultant, and having conversations with leading experts in the new economy, Francine found common patterns distilled in an easy and clear framework, YEANICC TM, with seven pillars anyone can use to lead in their chosen field and get highly paid. Each of the pillars is illustrated by real life stories, case studies, expert tips, thought-provoking exercises and action steps you can implement right now.

Inextricably linked to human evolution, storytelling has always been a key element of the marketer’s toolkit. However, despite extensive practitioner interest, academic research on the topic currently falls short. This book highlights how storytelling has evolved from an ancient art to contemporary marketing science, placing it in the context of digitisation and social media. It reflects the dramatic shift in brand storytelling in which marketers are in the driving seat, leaving consumers to do the navigating. Based within the context of AI, the influence of VR, AR, big data, and new media, this book predicts a creative renaissance in brand storytelling; one that will be at the intersection of science, art and humanity. The author suggests that there will be a shift from ad to art through the use of cognition and emotion, data and fiction. It suggests that through storytelling, brands will be able to connect with their customers’ hearts and minds. Drawing upon interdisciplinary research on neuroscience, emotional attachment and narrative theory, the book critically analyses existing theories, practices and applications of storytelling, providing a platform for debate between academics, researchers and practitioners.

'Business-as-usual' has been transformed across the music industries in the post-CD age. Against widespread hype about the purported decline of the major music labels, this book provides a critique of the ways these companies have successfully adapted to digital challenges – and what is at stake for music makers and for culture. Today, recording artists are positioned as 'artist-brands' and popular music as a product to be licensed by consumer and media brands. Leslie M. Meier examines key consequences of shifting business models, marketing strategies, and the new 'common sense' in the music industries: the gatekeeping and colonization of popular music by brands. Popular Music as Promotion is important reading for students and scholars of media and communication studies, cultural studies and sociology, and will appeal to anyone interested in new intersections of popular music, digital media and promotional culture.
