Rebuild brand authenticity and regain consumer trust by following examples of inspiring people, brands and campaigns which demonstrate a positive way forward.

"At a time when there is so much disruption, trust is more important than ever. The Post-Truth Business provides invaluable insight into how brands can earn trust and play an authentic and meaningful role in consumers' lives. Sean has always had a knack for uncovering human truths and cultural insights, and he delivers again with The Post-Truth Business. It's a must-read and its publication couldn't be more timely."

"A deep study into the culture of post-truth and what it means for brands. This book is a rigorous read for those who want to better understand the implications of our post-truth era."

"Sean provides an incisive view of the troubled cultural and political landscape that modern brands need to navigate. But what makes this book 'mission critical' is the rigorous research, laser insights and the intelligence briefings he has extracted from a broad range of experts. The Post-Truth Business is a field manual for marketers."

"The Post-Truth Business clarifies the context of how mistrust has been building in our lives over time. People are using social platforms to distort the truth and the more we are exposed to the lies around us, the more immune we become to the central idea of what is real - and right. This book goes beyond the standard text on 'fake news' and digs much deeper, giving a more insightful and worldly view that demonstrates the interconnectedness of how consumers are now informed."

"Sean's book shows how and why we are now living in a post-truth world and how this is perhaps not as new a reality as we might think. Through a wonderfully wide set of interviews and examples from around the world, Sean shows a way forward for brands to rethink how they behave in order to regain meaning and trust. The rules have changed, perhaps for good, and The Post-Truth Business is guidebook to help us navigate this new landscape."

"The Post-Truth Business gets to the heart of why trust is vital in society and fundamental for businesses, now more than ever. Prioritising and cultivating trust helps brands not only to stand out but to build a loyal following of dedicated advocates. The book explains clearly and intelligently how brands can benefit from being open, authentic and trustworthy and what they need to do achieve it."

"The Post-Truth Business gives the reader an in-depth understanding of why trust has been eroded in societies and markets, and why there is an increasing sense of frustration in the world. But that isn't the only reason why you should read this book. The Post-Truth Business shows a way forward, how reputation capital can be recreated and why positive brands can be trusted to show us true leadership. That is why you should read it. And when you've finished reading, please send your copy to a politician who will need to read it too! Enjoy the future."

"Everything starts with trust - but how do brands reset their moral compass and gain trust in a post-truth era? Via brilliant storytelling and research, this hugely inspiring and insightful book shares compelling examples of leaders, brands and business models showing the way forward. I believe this is the ultimate handbook for anyone who wants to build reputation capital and future-proof their brand in a post-truth environment."

"A constant search for trust, truth, commitment and action must set true north for every business and leader who intends to thrive in the uncertain and unsettling years ahead of us. Those who appreciate the value of authenticity, system-scale change, and the value of both small and beautiful will hold the keys to thriveability. The Post-Truth Business makes a clear and compelling case for change, with excellent examples of businesses and communities already making it happen. Read. Reflect. Act."

"As fake news continues to dominate our headlines, brands continue to misuse our data, and brand empathy and 'trustworthiness' become ever more important issues, Pillot de Chenecey has written an incisive, no-holds barred account of how business is getting it woefully wrong, and what it now needs to change to rebuild trust with an increasingly sceptical and rightfully dismissive customer..."

"At a time when such tangibles as trust, authenticity, reality and locality are all in the air, it's the perfect timing for a book such as The Post-Truth Business. Deeply researched, it's the perfect atlas for all involved in brand strategy for navigating these very unclear and disruptive times."

"With the explosion of social media has come a massive challenge for long established and previously respected institutions. Trust in media and politics is being undermined in a way never seen before. Brands are not immune either and yet no-one has really set out to study the impact of our 'post-truth' world until now with this timely, provocative and ultimately hopeful book."
