Marketing Judo

They fell into a way of thinking which they now call "Marketing Judo", based on the principles of Judo where brains matter more than brawn, and where anyone can become a Black Belt if they move quickly, train hard enough and keep their balance when others don't!

Packed with amusing stories and events from their own experiences as well as practical examples from a whole range of companies, Richard demonstrates how it's always possible to find a competitive advantage - however small your budget or large your opponent!
