This is just a reminder post that the September session of the Montreal Business Book Club is taking place next Tuesday, September 27th at 6:30 pm and we will be discussing And Now A Few Words From Me by Bob Garfield (thanks for the suggestion Harold).
Here’s a blurb about And Now A Few Words From Me:
“Bob Garfield, Author of Advertising Age’s widely read column ‘Ad Review,’ is the world’s most influential advertising critic. And he is ticked off, wielding his pen like a flaming broadsword, striking out at rudeness, self-indulgence, irrelevance, irresponsibility, and outright sleaze.
Amid his take-no-prisoners citation of ad failures, though, Garfield also lays out rules for good advertising – commonsense rules too often forgotten between the initial brainstorm and the final ‘advertrocity.’ And Now A Few Words From Me is a primer, a volume of case studies, an earnest reflection, and a hilarious exercise in journalistic hell-raising. Advertising may or may not get better as a result of Garfield’s book, but it will never be the same.”
As always, all Montreal Business Book Club discussions take place at Twist Image.
