Новинка от одной из самых популярных авторов Великобритании.
Таллула и Зак отправляются на свидание. Они совсем юные, но у них уже есть маленький ребенок. У пары не все гладко в отношениях, но, кажется, Зак по-настоящему влюблен в Таллулу. А что чувствует она? Последний раз их видят направляющимися на вечеринку в особняк, который прозвали «Темным местом». На следующее утро мать Таллулы, оставшаяся с годовалым внуком одна, безуспешно ищет дочь. Проходит пара лет. Автор детективов Софи Бек только что переехала из Лондона в провинцию вместе со своим парнем Шоном, который является новым директором местной элитной школы. Софи заинтересована печальной историей исчезновения Таллулы и Зака. Но когда ей удается обнаружить тревожные подсказки о том, что же произошло на самом деле с молодыми влюбленными (такими уж влюбленным?), Софи оказывается втянута в очень мрачную историю.

How to reach the 98 percent of people who leave your website without converting sales The Retargeting Playbook is a complete guide for digital marketers about how to reach the 95 to 98 percent of people who leave a brand's website without converting. Retargeting gives advertisers the ability to stay in front of those people to bring them back and close the deal. For that reason, retargeting has emerged as a must have marketing channel, yet there is a lack of content that explains how the technology actually works and best practices for using it. Even marketing managers at large, sophisticated brands and agencies don’t have a strong grasp of this evolving channel, and there are few good neutral sources on the topic. Meanwhile, retargeting is the cornerstone of any holistic digital advertising strategy since it improves the results of every other channel if implemented correctly. Unfortunately, most marketers are only utilizing the most rudimentary retargeting tactics and barely scratch the surface of its potential. Explains how to stay in front of potential customers and convince them to come back and close the deal This book will be required reading for media buyers at digital agencies, in-house marketing managers at companies in any vertical, performance marketers, and ecommerce managers.

Almost 70% of mergers fail, yet deals are essential for growing world-class companies. Therefore they must use all the tools and techniques at their disposal to improve their chances of success. Applying the techniques advocated in this book can help managers beat the odds – and employees themselves – to have an impact on whether a deal will be successful both for the company and for themselves. This book looks at the process of a merger or acquisition and pinpoints the areas where business intelligence can raise the odds of success in each phase of the deal. Using techniques developed by governmental intelligence services and a wide range of recent case studies, quotations and anecdotes, the expert authors from the renowned Cass Business School show how to build success into any M&A situation. The first edition of Intelligent M&A was written in 2006 and published in 2007. This preceded the peak year (2007) of the last merger wave, including the excesses in a number of industries and deals (e.g., financial services with RBS’ dramatically failed acquisition of ABN AMRO as a key example), and the global economic downturn that led to a completely new way of operating for many industries and companies. Therefore, there is a need to update the book to incorporate not just more relevant and up-to-date case studies of deals but to show the ‘new’ way of operating in a post-Lehman environment. Chapters will be comprehensively re-written and populated with new and relevant case studies.
