“Chris knows that people appreciate a step-by-step guide as a starting point and so clearly lays out the process. His background? 10 years helping Red Hat become a $1B brand. Chris Grams gets it. From both my experience in a team he led and this book, he understands how to bring people together to work.”
- Terri Griffith, Professor of Management, Santa Clara University and author of The Plugged In Manager

“The Ad-Free Brand is not only an incredible book for those seeking to build brand strategies but an invaluable handbook for all practitioners desiring to build communities. Chris writes and lives his belief that ‘getting others to paint your fence’ has nothing to do with brand communities. Creating passion, engagement and dialogue is the sine quo non. Chris’s skillful storytelling matched by the depth of his experience engender both familiarity and confidence. You know he has been there. Reading this book is like having Chris sitting next to you having a conversation about your brand and your community. A must read for all students entering the digital world of business.”
- Susan Resnick West, Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism
