(And his idea about writing the press release for the product before you create it is brilliant.)" - Lindsey Slaby, founder, Sunday Dinner Agency

"Disruptive Marketing isn't so much a business book as a marketing manifesto. Its core message is that marketing isn't a set of core principles or effective practices or even a department in your organization - it's a way of thinking. And disruptive marketing borrows from genius and inspiration from every industry and walk of life, imbuing everything you do and even how your existing and target customers interact with your brand. Geoffrey Colon's goal is to free us from our assumptions and one-size-fits-all thinking. He shows us that we need to focus on, and capture, what really matters: time, attention, and conversation. Disruptive Marketing manages to be wide-ranging, creative, ambitious, visionary, shrewd, and practical all at once - just the same qualities that, according to Colon, our marketing strategies should have." - Holly Epstein Ojalvo, founder and editor of the digital news site Kicker (gokicker.com)

"Colon eloquently explains through his own experience how 'producerism' is not a buzzword anymore. The art of customer co-creation is very much real! Today's audiences are not satisfied with just consuming content in a stand-alone mode. Many want to be a part of the product's journey and, in a lot of cases, be an active voice in shaping it. With increasing activity over social media, there is more to come and Geoffrey correctly surmises the most innovative companies of the future will have producerism in their DNA!" - Rohan Khra, co-founder and COO of Jabbercast

"Colon's chapter on podcasting intertwined with his theory that anyone can be a creator/producer is key to understanding how marketing is changing. Writing not merely about brand messaging but content creations produced by many, Colon uses personal and professional experiences to drive home to the reader that marketers aren't doing your marketing; rather, everyone who loves your product is doing your marketing." - Parviz Parvizi, co-founder of Clammr
