We recently hosted the Boston release party for Rob Walker’s new book, Buying In. As the author of New York Times Magazine column “Consumed”, Rob Walker has been a uniquely insightful chronicler of our ever evolving relationship with brands. In his new book, he discusses a new and lasting groundswell in both marketing practices and the consumer culture. We spoke with Rob about our changing dialog with brands and why we continue to buy in.
