Review:

"Bravo! As someone who teaches an account planning course, I was thrilled to see Kelley and Jugenheimer's book. This much-needed addition to the account planning literature is outstanding in both its depth and its accessibility. Whether you're a student or a practitioner, this book will explain what account planning is, how it's done, and why it's important. The current examples and insightful case studies make this a keeper." - Kris Kranenburg, Southern Illinois University "The title is dead-on as this book truly delivers as a practical guide to understanding account planning. It provides useful information in an entertaining and easy reading style." - Joseph E. Phelps, The Reese Phifer Professor of Advertising and Public Relations, University of Alabama"
