Engage

UPDATED

I’m truly excited to share a bit of news with you…

While this isn’t the formal launch of my new book, today represents a significant milestone for me.

As of today, Engage is available for pre-order on Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble, Books a Million, and Borders, with shipments expected to arrive sometime in mid-to-late February. Other sites will go live soon.

This post represents the first time that I’ve publicly released the title…Engage. And, I also join good friends Chris Brogan, Steve Garfield, David Meerman Scott, Marsha Collier, Brian Halligan and Dharmesh Shah as a fellow author at Wiley.

This book also serves as a touchstone in its own right for me personally. If you notice, the branding and title of my blog has changed. I’ve done so to intentionally reflect the true positioning and value of this book. It’s written for champions and executives alike in business, marketing, branding, interactive, service, and communications. It’s designed to help bring everyone to the table.

I’ll write more about it later…but in the meantime, I wanted to share the news…

  • Awesome! You really should. I'll help Krystyl however I can! http://scr.im/court
  • Mike Looney
    I will purchase said book once I have completed the others. Also, can I point out that I would pay at least twice that for a year-long subscription to a monthly podcast colloquium with you, a couple other social media voices and then Sven Birkerts/Geoffrey Nunberg/Umberto Eco/Jonathan Culler/etc. discussing wider transformational changes with the advent of new media technologies. Just a thought =) - Mike
  • That's a great thought...will have to think about this.
  • Congratulations on finishing your http://bit.ly/engageme book so fast! How long did it take? LMK when you're in NYC as I'd love to do a special Digital Somethings for your book launch.
  • Thanks @db...started it in July/August...let's do something in NYC!
  • Brian:

    Great title and cover art - can't wait to dig in. Congratulations.
