As the marketing world shifts from a century of overt one-way messaging to a new world order of two-way dialogue, we leave the age of persuasion and enter the era of influence.

It’s a delicate dialogue now. The goal is no longer to triumph by weight, but to win by influence. Welcome to UNDER THE INFLUENCE—an exploration of that critical shift. Hosted by Terry O’Reilly.
