Byline: BOOK MARK Creative Leaps 10 lessons in effective advertising inspired at Saatchi & Saatchi By Michael Newman Published by John Wiley & Sons
Not everybody will find Creative Leaps appealing - but for those involved in the advertising/marketing industry or just plain interested in a behind-the-scenes look at advertising in Australasia, it's worth a look.
Author Michael Newman, one of Australia's leading advertising figures, was for five years executive creative director at Saatchi & Saatchi in Sydney, where he won a swag of awards for his work, including a coveted Canne Lion - the advertising world's equivalent of an Oscar.
Despite Newman's affiliation with Saatchi & Saatchi, he assures us the book is not about the agency.
"It is about some of the advertising lessons I learnt there, but the origins and applications of these lessons are broader than any single agency," he writes in the introduction.
"This text is written for the modern student of advertising - or, indeed, anyone interested in seeing an improvement in the brandscape - who wishes to glean some clues about how to proceed in today's complex marketing environment, where ever in the world you work . . . [whether] East or West, client or creative, big business or small."
