About this title

Synopsis

Want marketing that works? Stop selling and start connecting.

Forget the buzzwords and the hot new tactics. Good marketing is choosing the message and channel that actually land with audiences. So what do you say, and how do you know it will work? The marketing that wins is rooted in simple principles: Be authentic, speak to a real audience, and make it resonate. The challenge is turning those principles into a narrative strategy that performs in the real world. Because marketing shifts. People shift. Platforms shift. You need a framework built to adapt.

Enter the O.D.D.S. Method: a fail-safe, four-part framework from marketing consultant and entrepreneur Shanise Ling, MBA, that will dramatically simplify and fundamentally change how you go about creating a marketing strategy that works. The O.D.D.S. Method teaches you how to:

• Observe: Start with analysis, then use insights to make meaningful connections.
• Distill: Define a clear point of view from which to build a brand that resonates.
• Differentiate: Determine and fine-tune the channels and tools that best fit your market.
• Scale: Amplify your message strategically.

Blending real-world stories with actionable marketing strategy, Odds Are It’s Marketing is an exploration of what it means to build visibility, credibility, and impact—especially for those who’ve been underestimated, overlooked, or undervalued. To build brands that can’t be ignored, you need clarity, confidence, and purpose. But most of all, you need a great story. What will yours be?
