This book is a practical approach to marketing/advertising. I found the content to be ok. It was pretty simplistic. It was a helpful introduction, but felt like it should've been a series of blogposts instead of a book. I think the content it 2 stars. What makes it 3 is the design. The book is attractively designed. I think it is one that I might reference for formatting ideas in the future.
Mark Earls makes the case for the copiers of the world, but not just any copier. He makes the case for a special kind, one that takes tangible products and creates a better solution. Which as Mark laid out is where most great products come from . From a business standpoint it makes more sense to focus on innovations rather than inventions .
I agree with Mark on most of this book. I think we romanticize about being the original person to start things off. It makes us loose sight of what we are trying to do.
Yet I still felt that this book lacked something. It wasn't the writing, nor was it the illustration. It just felt like one of those marketing books that you read once and never return to again.
