If I were Elliot Hill, CMO of Nike, this is the one book I'd be reading right now. It reignites belief in the power of brand, sharpens the urgency for a stronger narrative, and delivers the concrete ideas for marketers they need to win. Naturally, this would be a good read to the agency people as well.--Marco Mäkinen, Chief Strategy Officer and Partner at TBWA Helsinki
