"I am generally not a big fan of marketing books and particularly not when they touch so-called youth marketing. But this one was refreshing and informative, more observing and sharing a frame of thinking on the evolution of generations instead of an absolute theory on 'how to get after those young consumers'." * Gert Kerkstoel, Investor and former Global Business Director, Nike SB *
"The 'R' from the CRUSH brand model has confirmed to us the importance of having a modern or attitudinal interpretation of authenticity in our marketing communications. It relates better to the current consumer climate as well as to specific Generation Y expectations. A lot of hot takeaways for cool brand builders in this book indeed." * Dirk Van Kemseke, Global Marketplace Insights Manager, Levi Strauss & Co *
