Using black and white cartoons and graphics packed with ideas and examples, Marketing Plans: A Complete Guide in Pictures is a highly accessible primer that is both a rigorous and serious introduction to the subject for those discovering marketing for the first time, and a versatile companion for more experienced professionals.
