Consumer Behavior Expert John Butman Joins Lavin Roster

John Butman

One of the major challenges for marketers today is the fragmented and seemingly contradictory nature of the "consumer." Old categories don't seem to fit, and new ones come and go faster than ever before. One of the true experts on the modern consumer and his or her buying habits is John Butman, co-author of such influential books as Trading Up, Treasure Hunt, and Grapevine. In his forthcoming book, American Dreamers: Living with Abundance in the Fourth Wave of Wealth, he shows us that even the wealthiest of the world's consumers are driven by the need for value, experience, and emotional content through goods.

The Lavin Agency is thrilled to announce our exclusive representation of John. For more information, please call us, or click on the link below:
