( July 22, 2007 ) - In what may be a first-of-its- kind online collaboration, 103 marketing professionals have
joined together to write The Age of Conversation, a book being released today. The book
is available in a downloadable e-version and in hardcover and softcover. All proceeds
will be donated to Variety, the international children's charity.
The book has an unusual story behind it, involving online connections
between people around the world who have never met each other.
Drew McLellan, who heads McLellan Marketing Group, an advertising agency
here, has been writing a blog online since last September. His blog,
http://www.DrewsMarketingMinute.com is among the 25 most-read marketing blogs.
McLellan's partner in this adventure is another marketing blogger in the top 25, Gavin
Heaton, Interactive Director at marketing agency Creata, in Sidney, Australia. Heaton
blogs at http://www.ServantofChaos.com.
In March, McLellan wrote about Wharton University's effort to create a
collaborative book and Heaton suggested online that they get a few bloggers to try it.
"Three e-mails later, we had named the book and the charity. It just fell into
place," McLellan said. "The Age of Conversation was the perfect topic. The marketing
industry is abuzz about how the citizen marketers are changing the landscape. This book
captures that new phenomenon."
McLellan and Heaton, through their blogs, invited other marketing professionals
to commit to writing essays about conversation. They set what they thought would be an
impossible goal -- 100 bloggers. Within seven days they had commitments from 103.
"What began as a comment online has grown into a major collaborative effort by
bloggers from 24 states and eight other nations," said McLellan.
"We've been amazed at the variety of approaches that have been taken, and with
hardly any duplication or overlap," said Heaton. "This book explores the art of
conversation and how it is changing the face of marketing from virtually every angle
possible."
The Age of Conversation is available in all three formats. Prices are: e-book:
$9.99 ($7.99 going to charity)paperback book: $16.95 ($8.10 to charity) hardback book:
$29.99 ($8.55 to charity)
