Summary: Too fluffy
Comment: The most valuable part of this book is in chapter 7 in which he provides the checkpoints for the marketing architecture. McKenna used the first six chapters to create the foundation from which he postulates the need for the marketing architecture -- which is chapter 7.
I bought into his reasons in the first chapter and as a result, I could have, should have gone directly to chapter 7.

Summary: What was I thinking....
Comment: when I bought this book. Completely worthless. First, this book seemed to be a commentary rather than a book filled with facts. No references were made about any of the facts...just the author's and his family's experiences. Kind of like the John Madden of marketing. If you score more points than the opposing team you have a good chance of winning the game....duh!

Summary: Please Look Elsewhere
Comment: Here is a solid example of how brand equity and trust can be eroded. The HBS (Harvard Business School) Press brand, in this case, has forgotten that our time spent as readers is extremely valuable.
Total Access is repetitive and bloated, it meanders endlessly, and it is sprinkled irritatingly with tedious truisms.
The few "gems" in Total Access could have easily been condensed into a solid Harvard Business Review article. As a first step, all the non-value adding self-promotional quotations from the McKenna Group would have had to go.
As a committed learner, I suggest that time would be infinitely better invested in reading or re-reading McKenna's 1991 classic Relationship Marketing. Alternatively, look elsewhere.
