Book Overview

STAR Marketing: How To Create Campaigns That Actually Work The psychology-based marketing breakthrough that's turning the industry on its head. Marketing today is louder, faster , and more personalised than ever - so why does it still miss the mark? Despite oceans of data, AI-powered platforms, and sophisticated targeting tools , audiences are disengaged , open rates are in freefall , and consumers are increasingly wary of brands that claim to "understand them". The problem? Most marketing is built on outdated assumptions - using demographic guesswork in a world that demands psychological nuance. STAR Marketing® offers the solution. In this ground-breaking book, marketing strategist David Chadderton introduces a powerful alternative: mindset marketing .
