Patricia Faulhaber Gives “The New Rules of Green Marketing” an Outstanding Review
Excerpt from Paricia Faulhaber's reivew of The New Rules of Green Marketing: Srategies, Tools and Inspiration for Sustainable Branding (Berrett-Koehler, February 2011, 252 pp.) :
"The biggest message of the book is that green is everywhere and is practiced in some part by everyone, and as such, marketing has a new mission when showing the green side of products, services, and brands...
The book is well-written, the points are well-substantiated, and professional marketers will gain much-needed insights from Ottman's writings. Green is finally an integrated part of society and appears to be here to stay for generations to come."
