My good friends Drew McLellan and Gavin Heaton have done it again! They have launched the second edition of the Age of Conversation, with all proceeds from the sales of the book - available in hardcover and softcover editions, as well as a downloadable e-book, being donated to Variety, the international children’s charity. The aim is to raise $15k for the charity, so if you
1) Give to a wonderfully worthwhile charity
and/or
2) Want to read some fantastic thoughts from around the blogosphere, on a raft of new techniques in evolving brand conversations, brand experiences, business and communities - then please buy the book!
It is a fantastic collaboration and if you want to hear about how Drew and Gavin go about putting this venture together then have a listen to a wonderful conversation I had last year with them both. Here is the amazing list of authors...and yes there is a special chapter from yours truly!
