“The sheer speed and rapid execution demanded in our hyper-economy makes businesses very uncomfortable today,” says Mike Wagner, professional speaker and leadership consultant. “It takes a special skill set to harness the power of the tools and technology available today without getting overwhelmed. In our work, we see business leaders struggling because their internal teams aren’t equipped for today’s trench warfare marketing.”

The concept of multithreading is borrowed from computer processing where millions of calculations are conducted in parallel to speed results. The same theory can applied to conducting marketing activities in any agile business. By leveraging the expertise of numerous “threads,” a business can often make a quantum leap in marketing output.

Mitchell’s experience in growing his own virtual agency led to writing the MultiThread Marketing book. “I directly experienced the power and speed of putting local expert resources on my projects,” said Mitchell. “We accomplished more in 30 days than most companies achieve in a year and at a fraction of the cost.”

“The MultiThread Marketer: How To Hire (Or Better Yet) Become One” is available at Amazon.com in both print and Kindle formats at $14.95 and $9.95 respectively and on the publisher’s website www.FastPencil.com/marketplace .
