Barkley: The world’s most expensive advertising book on Amazon

Barkley launched a book on Amazon Prime Day not by discounting it, but by selling it for a million dollars. Why a million? To illustrate the value of the answers to this million-dollar question: What should a brand do in a world with no paid advertising?

The Media Advantage is authored by Barkley Chief Engagement Officer Jim Elms, who formerly led the Amazon media business for IPG and was also global media agency lead for the first Amazon Prime Day. Not only is the million-dollar-book stained by his coffee cup and whisky glass, but it shows marketers how to navigate “a world gone dark”—that is, a media environment where consumers have many ways to avoid seeing your message, your TV :30, your banners and pre-roll, and all the sinkholes advertisers still pour money into.

The product videos and customer reviews lean into the fun. The product video features the dog-eared book perched on a marble pedestal behind a velvet rope, while an offscreen voice explains why it’s the most valuable paperback on the market just before the security laser beam grid turns on. In a customer review, J. Howard writes, “You’ll get all or most of it even if you settle for the $17.95 copy instead of ordering the fully autographed, stained, super-inspired, million-dollar bookdoggle. On the national holiday for discounts, he jacks up the price of his book by $999,982.05?”

For those looking to get a copy of the book at a cost more within their price range, a pristine new version of the book is also available on Amazon for $17.95.

The past year took a heavy toll on the mental health of athletes everywhere as they experienced competition delays, isolation from family and friends, injuries and career uncertainty. To provide an extra boost to world-class athletes along their journey, Allianz is introducing a new initiative called the Allianz Support Dog Squad.

Over the course of multiple sessions and weeks, Leticia, Dashawn and other attending skateboarders will participate in interactive sessions with emotional support dogs that are designed to enhance their mental health by reducing stress and anxiety, easing loneliness and increasing optimism, and elevating their overall self-esteem before they compete.
