Next up in our Word of Mouth Book Club series is Andy Nulman’s Pow! Right Between the Eyes: Profiting from the Power of Surprise. Andy is a brilliant marketer, entrepreneur, and sole owner of the title, “Prince of Pow!” His book is an eye-opening look at the power and potential of surprise marketing.

We’re sharing an amazing manifesto Andy wrote based on his book, and we’ve got 10 autographed copies to give away.

Andy’s manifesto is a poetic ode to the unsung and underutilized power of surprise in modern-day business. Here’s a taste:

In a world without Surprise
No more “Can’t believe my eyes!”
What you’d see is truly—only—what you’d get
Life would plod along as planned
All supply and no demand
Muffled colors, dreary skies
In a world with no Surprise

We’re bringing together an all-star group of word of mouth marketers for Word of Mouth Supergenius: The “How to be Great at Word of Mouth Marketing” Conference on December 16 in Chicago. We’ll feature 12 how-to classes, 12 real-world case studies, and 6 brilliant authors. You’re going to learn practical, hands-on techniques to get people talking about you the next day.

Our lineup of speakers includes word of mouth supergenius Andy Nulman, author of Pow! Right Between the Eyes: Profiting from the Power of Surprise. Here Andy shares a few of the ideas he’ll be discussing in his author session:

  • There’s a kid in all of us. Think of everyone as a kid at Disneyland looking for the next exciting thing.
  • Nothing beats the element of surprise. The power to surprise is perhaps the most underused, unsung tool in modern day marketing.
  • Dare to be daring. Don’t underestimate the power of suggestion. You’ll surprise yourself by being audacious.
