Rezensionen

"

Danny's book identifies some of the best apple polishers in the business, and examines the role they played in many of the defining campaigns - personal and political, commercial, sporting and cultural - of the modern era.
Campaigns that Shook the World is testament to the effectiveness of great communications. It's more, though, than a welcome addition to the marketing canon. The people and campaigns it explores have shaped the world in which we live - our politics, media, culture and society - in entertaining, controversial and fascinating style.
