“Digital Stone Age” is a must for any marketer regardless of how long they’ve been in the business. The author offers tangible actions and real-life examples to help you sift through today’s bold, click-bait proclamations about advertising, and instead help you realize that there is still room for a nuanced, holistic approach to be had, using channels we’ve been told are a waste of time and money (hello, TV and radio). In short, one channel does not a marketing campaign make. Like fad diets and “Digital Stone Age” is a must for any marketer regardless of how long they’ve been in the business. The author offers tangible actions and real-life examples to help you sift through today’s bold, click-bait proclamations about advertising, and instead help you realize that there is still room for a nuanced, holistic approach to be had, using channels we’ve been told are a waste of time and money (hello, TV and radio). In short, one channel does not a marketing campaign make. Like fad diets and trendy superfoods, digital may be the hot channel, but it’s wise to remember that it’s just one piece of a much larger puzzle where there is still room for “traditional” marketing channels. The author does a superb job distilling how digital can (and should) be but one component of a much a more robust campaign that is driven by message and not channel alone. We are cautioned against relying on single sources of marketing and reliance upon short-term tactics, which provide deceptive ROI gains, but ignore the essential need to build one’s brand, which comes from long-term investment and strategy. Further, the author uses real-life examples of brands we typically think of as solely using digital to market, which have in fact found renewed success by investing in “traditional” media despite the headlines that TV, radio, and outdoor advertising sources are dead. Think Casper, Peloton, and Chewy.com. What we’re given is a well-researched, easily consumable narrative that is interesting, entertaining, implementable.

Having worked for both large/established CPG clients and more agile "DTC" startup, Bill Durant's team at Exverus has deep insights and experiences that are readily and transparently shared throughout the book. Digital Stone Age helps the reader understand why planning your marketing strategy across multiple channels, including "Stone Age" channels like TV and radio, mixed with "Digital" ones like social and lower funnel, deliver the best results to achieve sales performance. Harkening back to books like "How Brands Grow" by Byron Sharp, Durrant, 10 years later, provides a similar but fresher and more accessible perspective for today's modern marketing challenges. It's a quick and easily digestible read that I would recommend for anyone needing a fresh and honest perspective on how to leverage the overwhelming advertising opportunities available today.

Bill does an incredible job explaining how to blend the tried and true methods of traditional advertising in today's social media-driven world. As someone who is a first-time entrepreneur, I am always looking for solid advice on where my advertising dollars would be best served. After reading Digital Stone Age, I now have new information to apply to my small business and will most certainly use this book as a reference for the future needs of my growing business.
