  “A fantastic book, which everyone in advertising should read. There's a lot about taking charge and taking responsibility and doing things the right way; about not making excuses and getting on with it; and most importantly, about the advertising itself and about how to shape brands that's valuable.
  
  Seeing a lot of stuff that comes out of agencies, (and Ogilvy around these parts is more guilty of this in their creative vs. strategic direction than most) makes you wonder why people aren't as concerned about where they're coming from and where they're going as they should be.”
