The 1-Page Marketing Plan

Allan. Dib · 2025
82/100
👍 Worth It

Allan Dib's nine-block framework genuinely cuts through the noise — it gives small business owners a simple, actionable scaffold where most marketing books offer theory and leave you to figure out the practice. The 2025 edition's AI integration and updated exercises keep it current rather than coasting on past success, which matters in a field that moves fast. Over a million copies across editions isn't just hype; it reflects real-world utility that has held up across multiple market cycles.
