I can’t wait to pick up David Kushner’s newest book The Players Ball. It tells the story of the bitter rivalry between two of the leading figures during the worldwide web’s early days, which eventually shaped the digital world as we know it today.
More interestingly, though, the book also (incidentally) sheds some light on the murky origins behind many of the things that we marketers know by heart today—display ads, PPC, paid subscriptions, online revenue models, conversion funnels, etc.—despite not strictly being a marketing book per se.
But if you’re looking for a great addition to your summer reading list that’s marketing-related, we got you covered. The Callbox team hand-picked seven titles from our marketing library. These free eBooks are perfect for expanding your marketing knowledge while enjoying a relaxing and thought-filled summer day.
Take your pick from this selection of Callbox’s in-depth and in-demand B2B marketing eBooks and whitepapers:
