The Framework is the intersection of age-old advertising strategies and the science of decision-making, applied to today’s toughest marketing and sales challenges.
It draws from billion-dollar brand strategies, Harvard research, and Nobel laureate work on influence, but results in practical application.
In this book, Gerry O'Brion combines his years as a corporate executive with over a decade of real-world experience implementing the Framework in companies around the globe.
From his foundations at P&G to rolling out the blue mountains on Coors Light, Gerry has influenced millions of customers to buy. They Buy Your Because makes his strategies accessible to everyone.
If you own a business, you owe it to yourself to read this book.
