I love the tactical and practical wisdom in Marcus’s book. You should read this for the case studies as well.

What I like about this book are the case studies. I like the way brands are featured in the book and how they were able to find their place in social media. I can use these same strategies to build a profitable, stable and sustainable business model for my businesses.

Most people tend to learn well through case studies. I love how Marcus showcases several powerful business examples throughout this book. By studying how theses major brands achieved social media success, readers are able to extract what works for their own business and apply many of the same strategies.

The biggest challenge that I experienced in my business was bringing it to a bigger market. While I knew that my brand could be promoted online, I just didn’t know where to start. But Social Payoff did more than introduce me to social media. It helped me a lot in finding my market and reaching out to them using networks like Facebook for an audience based around this region. Nowadays, most of my local customers start out as fans of my brand Page – and they even share my brand’s latest updates with their networks online!

I’ve been working with Marcus in the Facebook Marketing industry for more than a year, and I’ve always been impressed by his clear vision as to what works, what does not. His ability to cut through the BS and get real results is way beyond that of the experts you may run into these days. His book, Social Payoff, is the juice of his hard-earned experience on social media marketing. You just HAVE to read it!

Emeric Ernoult, Founder of AgoraPulse

Making the big shift to social media brand engagement is a challenging process for many companies. Marcus does a great job explaining the fundamentals and advanced strategies that marketers need to bring brands effectively into this new marketing arena.

Linda Gharib, SVP, Digital Marketing, Citigroup

Social Payoff is a good reference for anybody keen to understand Facebook and social media marketing here in Singapore. Written in a direct and conversational manner, it provides useful case studies, illustrative campaigns, and results-focused ideas that are mostly fluff-free. Highly recommended.

If you want to organise your marketing staff for social media, this is the book to read. If you want to integrate all your marketing campaigns, this is the book to read. If you want to establish your brand in the hearts and minds of your consumer market, this is definitely the book to read.

Gordon Lee, Marketing Manager, Home-Fix

Social media gives us a better grasp in reaching out to local markets, but to create a strategy that enables us to handle each market is just crazy. However, Social Payoff gives us just that.

I’ve tried many online marketing programs to promote my business, and, honestly, not all of them gave me sustainable ROI. Maybe it’s because I left all the work to the people I hired. But this book served as an eye-opener for me. It not only taught me what online marketing on social media is about, but also walked me through a system that works. Now I know what to tell the online marketing firm I hire when it comes to what I want to achieve for my brand - and how they should do it.

Back in the day, marketing was a lot about just advertising. Now, with social media, I have found what’s lacking in making a brand last – engaging and establishing relationships with the target audience. This book taught me that.

Mikki Seng, Wacoal Singapore

Marcus is a real joy to work with; his knowledge of what works and what doesn’t on social media is mind-blowing. What I like best about Social Payoff is his ’where to go next’ approach which encapsulates branding, social media and branding into a simple holistic framework. A very powerful insight indeed.

Samuel Teo, General Manager, Aventis School of Management

The success of a brand relies not only in sales, but also in the reputation it has built on its market. And with what this book has taught me, I have learned how to not only manage my brand’s reputation on social media, but actually utilise it to meet my overall business goals.

Maybelline Tan, Pernod Ricard

Marcus’s insights are not merely idealistic, they’re real. And that’s what I need – a real process that leads to real results.

Sharon Ang, Marketing Director, Dassault Systèmes

With the advent of social media, attention has grown scarce on the Internet. It has never been more challenging for any brand to gain awareness in a noisy space. But this book shares all the strategies and techniques required to gain brand dominance in your consumer market.

Michael Stellwag, Manager, Social Media, Qatar Airways

Social Media is more than just a buzzword. With so many self-proclaimed experts taking the limelight to mark themselves masters of this emerging marketing tool, here is a book that goes beyond self-indulgence and presents Social Media in its raw form - generating income for the confused business owners who basically just want to make it successful

Nikki Tacata, Singapore Business Review

Marcus has some fresh ideas here. Love to see a practitioner sharing his wisdom.

Mark Schaefer, Author of Return On Influence

What I like about Marcus and this book is that he demonstrates how to use social media to not just "manage" your reputation, but to make reputation a real business asset that makes a demonstrable difference in bottom line results. Smart stuff from a smart guy.
