Instrumental in developing the vital approach to marketing known as “positioning,” Jack Trout started his business career in the advertising department of General Electric. From there, he went on to become divisional advertising manager at Uniroyal. Then he joined Al Ries in the advertising agency and marketing strategy firm where they worked together for over 25 years. With Al, he co-authored the industry classic Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind.

His most recent book is The Power of Simplicity: A Management Guide to Cutting Through the Nonsense and Doing Things Right.
