Perennial Seller
Ryan Holiday
Making advertising that truly lasts in the public subconscious is tough, but with ‘Perennial Seller’ author and former director of marketing at American Apparel, Ryan Holiday, claims to have the solution.
Looking at the strategies that underpin the creation of something that’s built to last, he studies the advertising classics of genres such as film and retail. Holiday asks the question: if something doesn’t go viral, has it really failed? And how can you create an ad campaign that is truly remembered.
Twilight of the Money Gods
John Rapley
This detailed book documents the evolution of economics from necessity to being seen more as a science and religion.
Analysing all the great economic prophets – everyone from Adam Smith to John Maynard Kenyes is dissected at great length – Rapley asks whether we must reimagine how we treat economics for a new era.
The book is also a great opportunity to educate yourself on how different economic mentalities have shaped and transformed the Western world.
