In a new book by strategy consultant, J C Sum, he details what non-digitally-assimilated businesses globally have realized in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, the need to evolve and adapt.
From understanding hybrid strategy to implementing traditional and digital marketing channels, this entertaining and insightful read offers practical, hard-hitting and sometimes creatively unorthodox advice for businesses in a digitally evolving world.
For the first time, Sum shares his “Marketing Inverted PyramidTM”, a new marketing-based fundamental business framework. As an upgrade from the traditional “four Ps of marketing”, this model guides an organization’s strategies and tactics, in an analogue or digital world.
Disruptive technology, globalization, geopolitical instability, rising costs and regulations, all create adversity for businesses over time, regardless of the size of the company, location or nature of the industry. However, these challenges have been compounded by the socio-economic and cultural shifts in the digitally savvy consumer mindset.

This is certainly a very interesting and plain and easy reading book for the readers with little or no knowledge of e-commerce marketing or for people who want to know more. Enjoyed reading it very much!

An insightful read that will benefit a wide spectrum of readers – those with no knowledge as well as with much experience. Marketing in the current digital age is put across in a very simple and concise manner that is easy to understand. I strongly encourage all to read it!

This is a very comprehensive collection of marketing theories, well-referenced and backed by credible sources. A superb read, much like an academic journal. For most growing businesses, or new entrants, there will be many nuggets of information that they can pick up.
However, I would have hope to see more exploration of creative marketing tactics and tools.
Nonetheless, the key message of the book is well established and can be very solidly boiled down to the author’s principle of marrying both traditional and digital ways of marketing and emphasising on a big idea first.

This book really helped me navigate through the saturated digital jungle of e-commerce which would easily overwhelm anyone who is new to it. However after picking up this book, I’ve gained a better insight of the tips and tricks that I truly believe are both effective and efficient. For the skills and insight that were included in this book, the price point is extremely accommodating and would be a fantastic addition to anyone who’s looking to upgrade themselves.
