Recenzii
"Is your marketing team frustrated at losing yet another brand plan, strangled at birth by your Board? If so, then this book is for you. In easy to read stages, it lays out how to win over the minds, hearts and confidence of the Board – so that your plans are not just approved but also backed through any early in-market turbulence. It works – as one marketing star recently said of Ruth: 'I have learnt more in two hours than I have in fifteen years'." Hugh Burkitt, CEO, The Marketing Society, 2003-2016
"Ruth’s book is one of the most actionable management books that I have read in a long time. Her easy to follow approach to engaging with the Board will enable you to nail your pitch when it matters most." Mark Evans, Marketing Director, Direct Line Group
"Boards are often populated by smart, left-brained, financially literate thinkers, whereas the best marketers bring at least as much right-brained intuitive and creative thinking. Ideas are often 'lost in translation'. Ruth's unique background, as an Agency Strategist, Client Marketer and Management Consultant, enables her to help marketers interpret and articulate those ideas by speaking the language of the Boardroom. She is bi-lingual. Read her book and she can help you to be too." Nigel Gilbert, Chief Marketing and Communications Officer, TSB Bank PLC.
"Ruth Saunders has built a successful consultancy business by teaching marketers how to communicate their strategic proposals more convincingly to their company’s Board. Against my advice she’s decided to reveal her trade secrets in this book…so I suggest you buy it if you’re a marketer who wants to improve their strike rate when pitching to the Board." Hamish Pringle, Director General, Institute of Practitioners in Advertising, 2001-11
"There are few moments as daunting for any CMO than entering a boardroom with the aim of getting buy-in to ideas that require a leap of imagination. Ruth Saunders has superbly captured the vortex in which the analytical mindset of a commercial board meets the entrepreneurial creativity of marketing. Ruth provides the tools and advice needed to handle the challenges from more logical minds with confidence. She knows what she is talking about. I have seen her do it." Jan Gooding, Global Brand Director, Aviva
In the boardroom, it is marketing’s responsibility to ensure that the voice of the customers that the company and its board are serving is heard and acted upon, to help guide the company to success. Having a plan to win in the boardroom is fundamental to achieving this. Ruth's book gives you a great plan of how to win in the boardroom – which you, your consumers and board will be grateful for." Michael Inpong, Chief Marketing Officer, Muller Group
This book is a must read for any marketer wishing to break out of their silo and impress in the board room. Full of real life case study examples, tips that I now know really work, and insights that I wish I had had earlier in my career, Ruth’s book will help you understand the language of the business and Boardroom, and be successful at the top table." Pete Turner, SVP Sales & Marketing, Avast
"I always knew I didn’t know something, now I know what it is, and now I know why I need Ruth." David Magliano, managing director, membership, marketing and consumer revenue, Guardian News and Media
"Marketing teams need to recognise that Boards have many commercial investment options and that marketing strategies compete with many alternative choices. Ruth explains how Boards assess these alternatives, clearly explaining how marketers should approach preparing for their Board conversations and ongoing relationship. This advise is really excellent, very simple to follow and a must read for all senior marketers who want to succeed with the Board". Robbie Millar, Global Director, Innovation & Brand Propositions, SABMiller (ABInBEv)
"The Saunders text is focused and superbly articulated and clearly demonstrates the author’s command of the marketing subject matter. The focus on the boardroom and the interplay of board members and key marketing staff is a subject worthy of attention. The substance of Chapters 2 through 8 provides readers with a wealth of information and the richness of the case studies presented. Some case studies in these chapters suffer from brevity. These cases could be expanded, thus enhancing the text. The low point in reading this text occurs in Chapters 9 and 10. The content iseems somehow different in quality and force of presentation. However, the concluding chapter (11) returns readers to the beauty of this work. The Saunders presentation has a place in the literature of marketing and marketing research. Strongly recommended for both graduate and undergraduate business collections." J. B. Kashner, University of the Southwest
Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.

Descriere
It's no secret: marketing punches below its weight in the Boardroom. CEOs and other board members perceive that marketers lack commercial credibility when compared to their peers. Marketing in the Boardroom is an important book for any aspiring marketers who are moving up the career ladder. It is also an important book for their organizations; particularly those that struggle to understand and give the requisite support and emphasis to the role of marketing in developing the new products, new markets and new strategies that lie at the heart of business renewal.
