"What Jody accomplishes in this book is nothing short of a true miracle. His humor ranges from dryly sublime to offensively sarcastic, and it is a masterclass in authenticity. Easily the most engaging book I have read on marketing in the past 20 years.
Drink the KoolAid he is offering."

If you're confused why your competitors get all the attention and grow like crazy or frustrated why some brands effortlessly attract a devoted following while you watch from the sidelines... this book reveals what they're doing right.
Jody Raynsford, accidental cult leader and brand expert, pulls back the curtain on how to transform the relationship with your audience from thinking of you as a meh brand to an oh-my-god-I-love-this-please-take-all-my-money brand.

- How to stand out, win attention and keep your audience coming back for more
- How to go deep with your audience to build momentum and magnetically attract the right people to your tribe
