An Oxford College of Marketing review of Chris Brogan's book Trust Agents says, "...it’s all about what every marketer needs to know about building influence and reputation in business – both on-line as well as off-line. Chris and Julian wrote this book to explain where we are today with business and how new media is changing ways we connect with people, we establish and develop relationships and how we (not) harvest them when it comes to our own business goals."
