The best marketing and advertising book of all time

TACH Auto Central – February 28, 2006: Marc Rauch isn't just one of The Auto Channel's co-flounders (as Marc and Bob Gordon like to joke about themselves); he’s also quite the advertising maven. Since the early 1970s Marc has been involved with some of America's biggest advertisers, and has helped loads of start up companies become household names.

After nearly 35 years in advertising and promotion, Marc has written a comprehensive encyclopedia of strategies and techniques that is designed to help every business get the most out of their advertising. Titled “MARCeting” the book presents thirty three chapters that cover virtually every topic, including direct mail, telemarketing, television & radio, outdoor, classifieds, cinema, negotiating with media reps, newspapers, exposition marketing, and, of course, online. And as the name suggests, all the advice and techniques are based upon Marc’s extensive hands-on experience.

“Since opening my first ad agency and production company in Manhattan, I knew I had a book inside me,” said Marc. “It just took a little longer to put on paper than I thought it would.” “However, I’m glad I waited because I was able to incorporate a lot of information about the Internet,” he adds. “The 10-year run we’ve had so far with TheAutoChannel.com has been amazing, and it’s fun to share some of this knowledge in the book.”

MARCeting” is available through all normal online sellers, and will be shipped to bricks and mortar retailers beginning mid-March. To order your copy through Amazon CLICK HERE. To order through Barnes and Noble CLICK HERE.
