Business Plus takes on the 'Rock Star of Digital Marketing' for Fall 2009
book release
NEW YORK, July 7 /PRNewswire/ -- Business Plus, an imprint of Grand
Central Publishing (Hachette Book Group USA), has announced it will publish
Six Pixels of Separation by Mitch Joel, President of the award-winning
Digital Marketing agency, Twist Image.
Six Pixels of Separation will teach entrepreneurs and individuals how
to have a global audience and consumer base in a world where we're all
connected (almost all of them free). The book will focus on how technology
is empowering individuals to build personal brands that will rival the
biggest of corporate brands, and how all business owners can now leverage
the global community to connect, share and grow. The book is named after
Joel's very successful Blog and Podcast by the same name.
In making the announcement, Rick Wolff, Vice President, Executive
Editor, Grand Central Publishing and Editorial Director of Business Plus
said "There's no doubt that Mitch Joel is one of the leading thinkers --
and doers -- in the Digital Marketing space. His Blog and Podcast, Six
Pixels of Separation, demonstrate his strategic thinking and vision when it
comes to helping entrepreneurs connect to their consumers and grow their
business. Mitch's book is going to be one of our lead business titles for
fall 2009, and we're thrilled to be able to help business people not only
understand all of these many changes, but what they can do about it."
When Google wanted to explain online marketing to the top brands in the
United States (including Wal-Mart, Costco, Sears and Sephora), they brought
Joel to the Googleplex in Mountain View, California. Marketing Magazine
dubbed him the "Rock Star of Digital Marketing" and in 2006 he was named
one of the most influential authorities on Blog Marketing in the world.
Joel is a Board Member for both the Canadian Marketing Association and the
Interactive Advertising Bureau of Canada. He speaks frequently to diverse
groups like The Power Within, Google, Unilever, Visa, Microsoft and has
shared the stage with former President of the United States, Bill Clinton,
Anthony Robbins and Dr. Phil.
"Every day at Twist Image, we are asked by our clients to help them
connect more effectively with their consumers online," says Joel. "In the
past seven years, we're seeing more and more individuals and Entrepreneurs
leverage the power of these online tools to grow their business and build
huge personal brands. Through our Blog, Podcast and other online channels,
we've done it too. I'm honored to be working with Business Plus on Six
Pixels of Separation. I'm excited to not only write about why this is
happening, but how entrepreneurs can make it work for them."
The book deal includes world rights and was awarded on exclusive
submission to Rick Wolff at Grand Central Publishing by James Levine of
Levine Greenberg Literary Agency.
