About Titans Marketing
Dear friend,
I spent over three decades at Boardroom Inc. (the transformational and pioneering direct response publishing company I helped build), working alongside the greatest copywriters and marketers who ever lived.
Everything in this store came out of that life.
Breakthrough Advertising, the Gene Schwartz masterpiece that was once out of print but no more (once I partnered with Gene’s wife). It is the book that every serious copywriter and marketer needs to have in their library.
Breakthrough Advertising Mastery, the 500 page companion guide Chris Mason and I created to help you turn the book into a utility.
The Brilliance Breakthrough, Gene’s lesser-known book but equally impactful, on how to talk and write so that people never forget you.
The Bill Jayme Collection--every direct mail package Bill Jayme ever wrote--each one a piece of art to emulate and steal smart from...from the most sought after copywriter of his day.
Read This Or Die, the definitive collection of promotions, letters and interviews from one of the most eclectic, dynamic and successful copywriters of all time, Jim Rutz.
The Titans of Direct Response, the recordings and resources from “the event of the decade”-- two days in 2014 when I assembled an ultimate all-star team of marketers and copywriters. It was epic...and lives on.
You’ll also find my own two books here, each with its own page and exclusive bonus material:
Overdeliver is everything I learned in almost four decades of direct response marketing...with some stories and case histories to back everything up.
The Advertising Solution (written with Craig Simpson) covers six legends who laid down the laws of advertising for the rest of us. A checklist/research guide for the ages.
And I’m as proud of the bonuses as the books. :-)
I put all of these books and collections together because I couldn’t stand the thought of this work disappearing and not having it available for future generations.
Study them the way I did.
Then go compete against the very best.
And go forth and multiply!
Warmly,
Brian Kurtz
