Subtitled, Fire Up Your Company Growth by Multiplying Customer Experience & Engagement and published by Wiley, Igniting Consumer Connections shares decades of experience, data and stories drawn from dozens of top brands and Epsilon's proprietary research to help marketers better understand, respond to and engage with consumers.

Igniting Consumer Connections is designed to provide expert insights about connecting with customers effectively across multiple channels and over time.

"I wrote Igniting Customer Connections to help marketers at every level and across every industry win customers and build long-term, sustainable brand and business equity. ROE is a completely new way of thinking and measuring success and will help shape budget spend now and in the future."

Igniting Customer Connections, available now in stores and online, features proprietary research commissioned exclusively for the book that demonstrates how marketers can achieve triple brand and business equity by addressing experience and engagement together. This unique data proves the efficacy of ROE and will change the way that marketers think about measurement.
