What Our Clients Say
“This book will change the way you think about your business. In today’s membership economy, it’s more important than ever that marketers know how to think strategically and stand above the crowd.”
Robbie Kellman Baxter
Author, The Membership Economy
“In my work as a CEO advisor I often assess to see whether my client’s organization has the capabilities necessary to achieve their objectives. In more cases than not, I find marketing lacking. That’s not good, because along with performance, effective marketing is the prerequisite for success. Linda Popky lays out what it takes to succeed. She shows how to get more definitive results from your campaigns, the ways to greater customer engagement, loyalty, and growth. This marketing book is about achieving strategic advantage. Isn’t that what it’s all about? Master the knowledge in this book and you are on your way.”
Seth Kahan
Bestselling author of Getting Change Right and Getting Innovation Right.
“A lot of marketing talk focuses on technology: Twitter, Facebook, viral videos, clicks. Linda Popky understands that technology is an important piece of the puzzle, but not THE most important. Her back-to-basics approach builds on foundational values like trust, relationship-building, and resilience to create customer interest and loyalty. Marketing Above the Noise speaks to marketers in their language, but it really shines when the author digs into what specific companies are doing right and wrong.”
Daniel H. Pink
author of Drive and To Sell is Human

“As a board member, interim CEO, and C-level executive coach, I love the themes contained in Linda Popky’s approachable and engaging book Marketing Above the Noise. In so many cases, when I begin working at the strategic level with companies, they do not know exactly who their customers are, how to engage their prospective customers, and to view marketing in the strategic context where it can catapult a company to its rightful place in the market. Linda makes marketing practical and actionable, using terrific metaphors and stories to make her points so that all executives will want to own this book and leverage its sage advice.”
Janis M. Machala
