Authors David and Reiko Scott master the art of storytelling to fan the flames around creating a fanocracy. While the term might seem a bit like hyperbole, the stories and concepts shared throughout the book reveal building real connections between customers and businesses is not only valuable but also attainable.

I enjoyed this one, a lot of business notes that inform building relationships in general. I liked the shared father-daughter authorship and all the Boston local examples, especially the Brookline Booksmith :) Learned about a lot of businesses doing nice things to build their fanocracy. My main teacher takeaway: get close and add emotional context, there is more than one way to engage your audience.

I've been a fan of David Meerman Scott's writing since I was a young PR pro decades ago. When I heard that Fanocracy was coming out I was thrilled. As someone with a background in a little cog-sci, I was intensely interested in the science (which his daughter, Reiko Scott, brings to the table) behind what makes people want to become fans. I have made some shifts in the way I market some of my own projects as a result of what I learned in this book, and have seen very positive results. It's a new way to think about marketing and selling through making better connections with people, by drawing them in and making them part of your tribe. A win-win for everyone.
