This is quite possibly the best textbook I've ever read. I read it in its entirety, and I think all but a couple of chapters were truly engaging. This book is a unique and fun approach to talking about strategy in Advertising. All the case studies were fascinating, and I loved the "brief cases" at the end of the chapters.
