On Phillip Davis' "The Name Game" VoiceAmerica Radio

Is Your Brand Name a Meatball Sundae? Ask Seth Godin!   Seth Godin, best selling author and internet marketer extraordinaire, will be   this week's featured guest. Join Seth along with your host Phil Davis as they discuss ways to transform mundane brands into something truly remarkable. Seth, for those who are not familiar with his work, wrote the book (or better   yet "books") on being remarkable; including Purple Cow, The Big Moo, Small is the New Big, The Idea Virus, The Dip, Free Prize Inside, and All   Marketers Are Liars. His latest effort "Meatball Sundae... Is Your Marketing Out of Sync?" outlines strategies for dealing with the new   media, new marketing, and how to keep your brand message fresh, hot and tasty.   Seth's career long approach to marketing has been one of building long term relationships based on inviting, entertaining, intriguing and engaging the potential customer -- but most of all, by being remarkable. So be sure to join Phil and Seth Tuesday March 4th at 12 noon PST and find out how to create something   deliciously different!
