Not just what tools and platforms to consider, but how to design an approach that will deliver the flexibility, creativity and buzz that can set your project on a pathway to impact. Transmedia Marketing provides a firm understanding of cross-platform media design where each media component's strength is complimentary and the focus is on the endgame: maximum impact." - Larry Klein, Emmy and Peabody-award winning Producer, Rx for Survival: A Global Health Challenge, Why the Towers Fell, Building Big with David Macaulay "Transmedia Marketing, spawned from Anne's Transmedia class at Emerson College, is the first of its kind. As a student in her class, I discovered the potential of storytelling across multiple platforms. Her enthusiasm and passion for the industry carries over from the classroom to the pages of her book as she guides you from developing a project's various storylines through marketing and branding each platform. Listen to Anne, she's the best resource for your next transmedia endeavour!" - Heather Hoglund, Producer, The Strong People
