Release date - January 2011

We pushed the release date to January. First it was October, than November and now it's after the holidays for a fresh 1st quarter launch date. Trust me, there is good reason for the change in plans. Not only did we score a stellar Foreword by Don Scultz, but Pam Lockard (the author and CEO of DMN3...and my boss) contributed some great, last minute additions to the book. You can see more about Pam on the updated site - www.ProfilesinMarketingExcellence.com

We also picked up some friends to help us with promotion. Meryl and team at Media Muscle are helping us get the word out and will be a great support to our 25 Profiles. Visit Media Muscle's website here.

So, see. All in good reason for our new release date. And besides, doesn't January 1st sound better than November 1st?

Foreword/Forward

An excerpt from the Foreword in "Profiles in Marketing Excellence."

"All those [profiled] are tempered by a basic, underlying love of what they do and why they do it. All think they are doing things that are important. And, they are. In short, this text is like personal conversations with each of the marketing experts"...by Don Schultz, Author and Professor at Northwestern University

Don Schultz writes a great Foreword for readers, in which he so graciously contributed to "Profiles in Marketing Excellence." He writes with character and whit. And in the full text, he shares how the paged conversations give readers insight into what makes these marketers so successful. His Foreword ushers readers to move forward as they embark on the changing marketing industry, as well as when they dive in on page one of the book. Don't move too fast - you may miss the value that is sure to be learned in the end.

Thank you Mr. Schultz.
