Frank wanted to share his thoughts after reading the new book with Deirdre Breakenridge, "Putting the Public Back in Public Relations."
"Marketing 'at' an audience just won't fly in this new conversation-filled landscape where your community now helps to sculpt your messages and stories. Brian Solis and Deirdre Breakenridge have teamed up on a new book that focuses on the importance of relationships when it comes to getting your message out in this new social economy, and it's a must read for anyone in the industry."Putting the Public Back in Public Relations is written for the those facing the new intersection of all that is rooted in Public Relations including PR, media and analyst relations, customer service, product development, social media, brand and community managers, executive management, HR, journalists, bloggers, marketing, advertising, students, teachers, content publishers, and everyone in between.
- Frank Gruber

Thoughts from other leading voices:
"Putting the Public Back in Public Relations" is a passionate and persuasive case for rewriting the rules of public relations. Authors Solis and Breakenridge expertly combine third-party perspective with case studies and examples to paint a picture of a profession on the brink of reinvention." -- Paul Gillin
"Movers of the message, now hear this: the public on the other end of the transaction isn't waiting around for you to reach it with your pitch. Let Brian Solis explain these things to you, and you will be far, far better off." -- Jay Rosen
Hugh MacLeod (@gapingvoid) also created an original and brilliantly poignant drawing to commemorate the book's debut.
