Shel Horowitz is an author, international speaker, columnist, and marketing consultant. He believes that businesses can succeed by embracing principles of honesty, integrity, and environmental responsibility.
The first of his books on marketing was published in 1985, and since then he has written several other award-winning books and hundreds of articles on marketing. His focus has been primarily on ethical, green, and frugal marketing. Stressing values-based, big-picture marketing that tends to be less expensive than traditional approaches, he develops marketing methods and materials based in such guerrilla marketing techniques as forming partnerships, attracting media publicity, and using social media effectively.
Shel was still a teenager when he started doing publicity and marketing for grassroots environmental and community organizations with zero promotional budget. There wasn’t even money available for stamps, so he hand-delivered press releases on a three-speed bicycle. Trained as a journalist, he first became aware of the power of the news media when a local paper refused to print meeting notices he wrote for a controversial group—but gave extensive news coverage to its refusal. Now, for over thirty years, he’s helped businesses, nonprofits, and community groups identify their key message and get it out to the public with little or no expenditure.
He has been quoted or cited in over 70 books, and blogs at GreenAndProfitable.com. His eighth book, Guerrilla Marketing Goes Green: Winning Strategies to Improve Your Profits and Your Planet, was #1 Environmental category bestseller on Amazon, and has made the category bestseller list at least 30 times.
