Marketing for Small B2B Businesses (eBook)

Small business marketers don't need to understand technical minutia of websites or the high-level social media strategies of national consumer brands. They need to understand how to build successful marketing machines that they can sustain with the resources they have available. This book will help small-business B2B marketers build a strong digital presence that will drive growth. 

A veteran digital strategist, content marketer, and web developer, Andrew founded Andigo to help companies find the right mix of digital tools to support their brand and sales goals and help them understand how their marketing progress can be measured. 

With a passion for collaboration and meaningful consensus, Andrew views his primary goal as encouraging engagement through solid information architecture, a great user experience, and compelling content. He is particularly passionate about working with B Corps and other mission-driven businesses. 

Andrew's approach has garnered invitations to present at Social Media Week NY and WordCampNYC among other events. His writing on digital marketing, including privacy in marketing, appears on the Andigo blog, in a monthly column on Biznology.com, and for print and online publications like The New York Enterprise Report, Social Media Today, and GSG Worldwide's LinkedIn & Business and Tweeting & Business.

Andrew graduated with a B.A. in Philosophy from Bucknell University. He is engaged in a range of community volunteer work and his hobbies include fly fishing, baking bread, and cycling. He also loves collecting meaningless trivia. (Did you know the Lone Ranger made his mask from the cloth of his brother's vest after his brother was killed by 'the bad guys?')
