If ever there were someone destined to write a book like How to Get a Meeting with Anyone, Stu Heinecke would be that person. A Wall Street Journal cartoonist, Hall-of-Fame-nominated marketer, and author, Heinecke discovered the magic of Contact Marketing early in his career when he launched a Contact Campaign to just two dozen vice presidents and directors of circulation at the big Manhattan-based magazine publishers. That tiny $100 investment resulted in a 100 percent response rate, launched his enterprise, and brought in millions of dollars worth of business. Heinecke is the host of Contact Marketing Radio; founder and president of Contact, a Contact Marketing agency; and cofounder of Cartoonists.org, a coalition of famed cartoonists dedicated to raising funds for charity while raising the profile of the cartooning art form. He lives on an island in the pristine Pacific Northwest with his wife, Charlotte, and their dog, Bo.
