He is the author of seven books including several New York Times bestsellers that have been translated into 60 languages. The Wall-Street Journal praised his book Brand Sense as “one of the five best marketing books ever published,” and his book Small Data as “revolutionary,” and TIME called his book Buyology “a breakthrough in branding.”

Obsessed with Lego as a boy, he was asked onto the advisory board and given his own brick setting his path into the world of products and branding when he was twelve years old. Despite the many social media bridges to the consumer, Martin feels the corporate world today is only interacting with consumers on a superficial level and he has begun to advocate a more respectful form of marketing.

In 2006 he launched the Brand Sense agency which put into practice his ground breaking vision for a multi sensory branding which goes beyond the visual to involve all the senses. In his book of the same name he reveals that the particular smell of a new car is actually manufactured and that one airline has patented its own cabin scent.
