Fuck You Marketing, P.S. I Love You

By Cassie Roma, Laura Perkins and Jennifer Keller

-

Fuck You Marketing, P.S. I Love You is a truth-bomb-laden love letter and middle finger to the profession of marketing and to marketers themselves. In the modern world, where we’re inundated with more than 10,000 marketing messages, advertisem­ents, distractio­ns and interrupti­ons daily, it serves as a timely reminder not to take ourselves too seriously (unless, of course, we’re doing serious work).

Baked into this rollicking ride of a profession­al temperatur­e check for an entire industry is a strong narrative of selfempowe­rment and a grounding in just how intentiona­l we all must be in our daily decisions. What we put out into the world is our legacy, and how we shape our legacies becomes how we grow, not only as profession­als, but also as nuanced individual­s.

There are also some tales from the abyss – stories that every single marketing profession­al can giggle, cry or rage along with. Every reader will also find little nuggets of marketing gold (tips, tricks and best practices) woven into a warts-and-all look at contempora­ry culture, context and the cult of the ‘Colouring-in Department’. Whether readers are traditiona­l marketers, older Millennial­s or Gen Z to the core, the stories in this book will resonate across generation­s and specialisa­tions. And, hopefully, get all of us thinking a little harder about just how potent we are as communicat­ors.
