“Tom Ruwitch is a magician . . . but not with magic powers or potions. He is a magician of storytelling. And in his book Story Power Marketing, the magic begins on page one with a compelling story (of course!), which creates a valuable and actionable through line until the end.
“He’s always taught his methodology by ‘showing’ (i.e., he lays out everything, hidden in plain sight, in everything he writes, for all to reengineer and use). But now with this book, he has peeled the curtain further into how he does it.
“I try to emulate Tom’s style and incorporate his advice in my own writing. I’ve come a long way just by paying close attention to everything he writes. Now, equipped with this book, I (and you!) have the owner’s manual on how to do it.
“There’s no longer an excuse to not unleash the power of Story Power Marketing in all of us.”

“Three decades of marketing mastery in one masterpiece! Thirty years ago I was just starting my consulting/coaching business. The ‘world wide web’ was a huge, mysterious wonderland, and email marketing was NOT a thing. I tried to learn from the early giants in the field, but it seemed complicated and confusing at best. Then about fifteen years ago, I met Tom Ruwitch and learned to weave together the psychology and strategy of storytelling into the tactics, techniques, and tools of messaging and online marketing into something that was simple, fun, and effective. This book is all his years of inspiration, innovation, and trial and testing captured in an easy-to-read and easy-to-implement structure for becoming the master of your own story-powered marketing.”
