Communications are bridges for connecting businesses with people. The options we have for building those bridges are growing by the day. The trouble is, you still have to have something relevant to say, and you have to say it well. This book will show you how. I wish 18-year-old me had had it. * Elliott Starr, Head of Copy at 20something *
We can all kick a ball, but we're not all Messi. We can all write, but we're not all great writers. In this superb textbook, Gyles Lingwood and Mark Shaw help explain how and why writing powerful, accessible and persuasive copy is so tough, yet conversely so achievable. If you want to understand what it is to be a writer in the modern advertising, branding and design industries, this book is a must read. It's little wonder that it's required reading across the UK's creative courses. * Steve Spence, London College of Communication *
