Wouldn’t it be cool if the market rewarded companies that were solving the world’s business problems? Here’s some great news: it does!
Companies who understand what they bring to the table when they address issues like hunger, poverty, racism, othering, war, and the environment lower costs and boost revenue–and profit.
You’ve probably even done a lot of the work. You might even have a Diversity-Equity-Inclusion (DEI) plan and a CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) report gathering virtual dust in a hard drive somewhere. The first step might be to turn those into marketing assets as you implement them.
The next step is to go deep enough to make a bigger difference.
But companies who don’t understand not only leave money on the table, they turn a potential asset into an expensive liability.
But YOU won’t make that mistake, because you will have a roadmap! Guerrilla Marketing to Heal the World is written in a conversational tone for comfortable reading, with an emphasis on how you can take action. It uses examples from all sizes: Fortune 100, small but well-known, under-the-radar firms, and solopreneurs (Shel himself has been a solopreneur since 1981).
Oh, and instead of getting bogged down in guilt, shame, or accusations of greenwashing, you’ll be showing stakeholders–maybe even your Board of Directors–how your social and environmental initiatives lead to higher profit, better employee motivation and retention, and customers so excited that they sing your praises to their friends. What a return on investment of a mere $24.95 plus shipping (and tax, if applicable) for the paperback, or just $19.95 with no shipping cost for the PDF ebook. Autographed copies and custom, branded editions available, too.

Forget all those negative voices nattering at you because you have the audacity to run a profitable business. Forget all those doom-and-gloomers who yell and shriek that the world will end on Thursday if you don’t drop what you’re doing and put all your energy into the latest crisis. Because you can make a difference…on your own terms.
