Meaningful Marketing shows you how to do work that actually matters in a world absorbed with themselves. Whether you’re a small business owner, church pastor or real estate broker.

Meaningful marketing isn’t obsessed over what we can get from our people but what we can do for our people. The tactics of a meaningful marketer aren’t to wake up and throw spaghetti at the wall but to understand how their day-to-day moves their entire mission in life forward.

This book isn’t about email campaigns, ROI or viral social media posts. It’s about empathy, care and generosity. Meaningful Marketing emphasizes 38 simple principles that help you clearly understand not just what decisions to make in marketing, but why you should make those decisions.

No matter what your product or service, this book will help you reframe how your people experience it, in order to meaningfully connect with the people who need it most. Alin blends his coveted online writing style to this timeless piece through a signature blend of memorable stories, pithy one liners and obscure observation.
