Why you should read Hub Culture
Author Stan Stalnaker contends that the most important phenomenon facing contemporary marketers is the transnational hub culture. Hub culture is urban, cosmopolitan, chic, pricey and elite. Hub types are the kind of people their great-grandparents called jet-setters. The author may be too young to remember jet setters. It may even be that he wasn’t born yet when much of what he says about marketing, branding and culture was said the first time, so whether his insights are fresh or not, he believes they are. The book is an eclectic amalgamation of puzzle-pieces of contemporary city society, such as nightclub remembrances and e-mails. Stalnaker sorts through these scraps and shards to draw a sociological portrait, trying to elevate them above the level of, "It must be important because it happened to me." getAbstract.com finds his book worth perusing, in that it does contain some worthwhile observations about the glib, flighty, self-absorbed, materialistic and brand-tyrannized denizens of the urban deserts called the Hub - just the people who might buy what you are selling.
