"Finally, a book that covers all the important aspects of Internet marketing!"

–Chuck Riegel, EVP Worldwide Marketing, Cybercash

From the Foreword: "...Smart CyberBranding is not about building the next Amazon or Yahoo or eBay... The new phase of the Internet revolution is about how businesses–often derisively referred to as "old economy" companies–take advantage of the new medium to vastly improve their bottom lines. And Breakenridge has done her part to point them in the right direction."
