USAToday on the Genius of Apple's Marketing

As we all well know, Apple's marketing has long been best of class. In USAToday, Jefferson Graham offers an analysis of what makes Apple's marketing so good, and thus what other companies should do to follow Cupertino's lead. Graham begins by noting that Harvard Business School professor David Yoffie estimated the free publicity that attended the iPhone launch to be worth about $400 million.
