Editorial Reviews

Review

"Using catchy chapter titles and shrewdly linking them to the subject matter, the author actively ensures an entertaining page-turning experience." (Gulf Business Magazine, October 2006)

From the Back Cover

In most markets these days, brands compete on terms of near-equality, each searching for a marginal advantage over its rivals. Not so in the writing-about-marketing market, where the Jeremy Bullmore brand stands alone. No competitor comes anywhere near to matching the wit and wisdom with which he illuminates his subject, or the pure enjoyment he gives his readers.

Why does marketing matter in the modern world? What makes a successful brand? And how do marketing communications work? Many have attempted to tackle these questions; but in this collection of essays - which originally appeared in consecutive WPP annual reports - Bullmore’s almost supernaturally persuasive prose supplies totally satisfying and seemingly definitive answers. 

Jeremy Bullmore began his career as a trainee copywriter in 1954. Over half a century after its launch, the Bullmore brand has never been stronger. Read one chapter of this book, and you’ll understand why.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gracias Mr. Bullmore por compartir con nosotros su capacidad de reflexión, August 1, 2006
This review is from: Apples, Insights and Mad Inventors: An Entertaining Analysis of Modern Marketing (Hardcover)
El libro de Mr. Bullmore nos introduce en diferentes reflexiones. A mi me genera la sana envidia de desear llegar a la edad de Mr. Bullmore con su lucided y creatividad . Su libro, tanto con sus contenidos como en su diseño y formato, también es una señal que no pasa desapercivida: la forma breve y sencilla en que las grandes ideas son explicadas, como lo hace Mr Bullmore con la madurez de un escritor consagrado. En su idea de "la belleza de lo breve" recuerdo también otra frase que dice "En arte, lo que sobra molesta". Es una idea que visualmente nos lleva a entender, aún sin ser especialistas o artistas, que cuando miramos un cuadro o leemos una novela, inconcientemente rechazaremos lo que "sobra"; pensemos en la paloma de Picasso para entender como ese trazo, y no otro, la hace única; en esa paloma nada "sobra", nada está de más. Mr Bullmore aplica la misma idea: nada "sobra" en su libro, que no deja de ser reflexiones sinceras de una persona experta en el tema y que tiene la generosidad de compartirlas con sus lectores. Pensemos también en su título, totalmente original, para entender que lo que Mr. Bullmore nos presenta es una "puerta" que nos ayude a reflexionar sobre el "Mad Inventors" que cada uno lleva adentro y que tiene que connvivir en el orden, en un mundo desordenado. Por último sus referencias y explicaciones sobre los "Insights" nos alientan a no salirnos de ese camino : las ideas siguen motorizando al mundo, de ahí la necesidad de no dejar nunca de hacernos preguntas. "Preguntar" sigue siendo gratis y puede generar resultados impresionantes. Recuerdo una persona que una vez se preguntó "qué pasaría si pudiera viajar sobre un rayo de luz, sosteniendo en mi mano un espejo: se vería mi reflejo ? Esa pregunta terminaría generando la famosa Teoría de la Relatividad de Albert Einstein.
Gracias Mr. Bullmore
