How to PR a law firm
In an online world, you have a profile and reputation whether you like it or not. Your reputation – for expertise, trustworthiness, competence, passion or humour – has value.
This book is aimed at anyone in a law firm involved in PR and communications… which should be everyone. Everyone in a law firm has a role to play in making sure that the vision of the firm, and the strategy it is following to bring this to life, is understood externally.
Every social media post, quote in the press or award shortlist builds up the reputation you want to be known for. We’ll also take you through the steps you need to think about if a crisis unfolds.
You know what you deserve to be known for. This book outlines how we can make that happen.
All proceeds from this book will fund work in the autism space to ensure better understanding and focus on the actions that are needed to make the world a better place for all autistic people.

Only Sales Guide You’ll…Need
The USA Today bestseller by the star sales speaker and author of The Sales Blog that reveals how all salespeople can attain huge sales success through strategies backed by extensive research and experience. Anthony Iannarino never set out to become a salesman, let alone a sales manager, speaker, coach, or writer of the most prominent blog about the art and science of great selling. He fell into his profession by accident, as a day job while pursuing rock-and-roll stardom. Once he realized he’d never become the next Mick Jagger, Iannarino turned his focus to a question that’s been debated for at least a century: Why are a small number of salespeople in any field hugely successful, while the rest get mediocre results at best? The answer is simple: it’s not about the market, the product, or the competition-it’s all about the seller. And consequently, any salesperson can sell more and better, all the time. Over twenty-five years, Iannarino has boiled down everything he’s learned and tested into one convenient book that explains what all successful sellers, regardless of industry or organization, share: a mind-set of powerful beliefs and a skill-set of key actions, including… ÛSelf-discipline: How to keep your commitments to yourself and others. ÛAccountability: How to own the outcomes you sell. ÛCompetitiveness: How to embrace competition rather than let it intimidate you. ÛResourcefulness: How to blend your imagination, experience, and knowledge into unique solutions. ÛStorytelling: How to create deeper relationships by presenting a story in which the client is the hero and you’re their guide. ÛDiagnosing: How to look below the surface to figure out someone else’s real challenges and needs. Once you learn Iannarino’s core strategies, picking up the specific tactics for your product and customers will be that much easier. Whether you sell to big companies, small companies, or individual consumers, this is the book you’ll turn to again and again for proven wisdom, strategies, and tips that really work.Read more

The Funny Things About Life: Random things to think about that help with self acceptance, compassion & resilience in a crazy world.
f you’ve ever spent time, maybe even a few brief moments, wondering what this whole thing we call life is all about then this could potentially be the “book” you’ve been looking for. When it comes down to it, life really is that simple. But but that doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy.“The Funny Things About Life” (aka so-called book, journal, diary, bunch of printed pieces of paper stuck together, whatever you want to call it) is something that YOU bring to life in your own unique, individual way.
The author (aka Gareth) allows you to go on a journey in any direction you choose with a collection of cliché, funny, simple, thought-provoking, random “facts” about life to think about, write about, forget about, talk about and, quite literally, get over so that you can just start being you and having more fun.
But before you consider reading it, don’t buy it if you are looking for a book that goes into great detail explaining things, giving you advice and suggestions, teaching you new things and suddenly uncovering the answer to whatever the question was. Because it’s not that kind of book.
Read it. Write in it. Tear pages out of it in anger. Laugh with it in agreement. Tell your friends not to waste their money on it. Give it to someone as a gift and hope for the best. Throw it away. Or put it on your bookshelf so that it gathers dust.
There’s no right or wrong way to use this book and you’re free to do with it as you please!.Read more

Rediscover the fundamentals of marketing along with the rise of metamarketing from the best in the business
In Marketing 6.0, the celebrated promoter of the “Four P’s of Marketing,” Philip Kotler, explains how marketers can use technology to address customers’ needs and make a difference in the world. In a new age of metamarketing, this book provides marketers with a way to integrate technological and business model evolution with the dramatic shifts in consumer behavior that have happened in the last decade. Readers will learn about:

- How to tap into metaverses and extended reality
- The potential obstacles and solutions for creating a more interactive and immersive experience.
Marketing has evolved to address global challenges and changing customer expectations. Incorporating sustainability themes and new technologies for customer engagement are essential for businesses to remain relevant. Indeed, marketing has shifted from traditional to digital, but most customers still value some forms of human interaction. As a result, multichannel and omnichannel marketing have become popular among marketers aiming to leverage both traditional and digital engagement. Metamarketing goes beyond that and offers a genuine physical and digital convergence by providing a more interactive and immersive customer experience across physical and digital spaces.

Buying Silence: How oligarchs, corporations and plutocrats use the law to gag their critics
***BOOK OF THE YEAR 2023, THE SPECTATOR***
“Masterful” Tom Bower
“Vital” Graydon Carter
“Shocking” Baroness Helena Kennedy
THE ERA OF WIN AT ALL COSTS, WHETHER LEGAL OR ILLEGAL , IS UPON US. THIS IS THE ERA OF THE SLAPP CASE.
Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation, or SLAPPs, are designed to censor, intimidate and silence critics of the powerful and wealthy by burdening them with aggressive opposing lawyers, heavy legal costs and deeply intrusive – and sometimes illegal – private investigations until they abandon the case.
The UK has the unenviable accolade of being the number one destination for such cases. Billionaire oligarchs, often ex-convicts and linked to organised crime, come here to launder their reputations through suing for libel – even when what’s been written about them is entirely true. Even worse, more often than not they either win their cases or scare their opponents into self-censorship, in a devastating blow to investigative journalism, media freedom and the public interest.
In this timely, insightful and often shocking book, David Hooper, veteran media lawyer, explores how the power of money enables the very wealthy – including Robert Maxwell, Nadhim Zahawi and McDonald’s – to crush their critics through SLAPP tactics. From billionaire oligarchs to powerful corporations, from corrupt politicians to super-rich businesspeople, Hooper describes how those with something to hide tried to stop you knowing about it, how their lawyers were willing to help them and – most importantly – what the government urgently needs to do to stop them.

Doing Discovery: The Single Most Important Element of Software Sales and Buyer Enablement Processes
A head of sales commented, “80% of my team believes they do a good job with discovery, but sadly they do not – they don’t know what they don’t know…!”Where do you stand with your discovery skills?
- Level 1: Uncovers statements of pain;
- Level 2: Uncovers pain and explores more deeply;
- Level 3: Uncovers pain, explores deeply, broadens the pain and investigates the impact;
- Level 4: Uncovers pain, explores and broadens, investigates impact and quantifies;
- Level 5: Uncovers pain, explores and broadens, investigates impact, quantifies and reengineers vision;
- Level 6: Applies these skills to the broad range of prospects represented across the Technology Adoption Curve, “burn victims”, disruptive and new product categories, transactional sales cycles, and other scenarios;
- Level 7: Integrates and aligns the skills above into a cohesive discovery methodology.
Most sales, presales, and customer-facing teams are operating at Level 2 or 3, with a few at Level 4 – this leaves a lot of room for improvement!
And, as Cohan notes, “the vendor who is perceived by the prospect as doing a superior job in discovery is in a competitively advantageous position.”
Reading and following the exercises in Doing Discovery can transform individuals, teams, and organizations from undifferentiated sellers into high-performing practitioners who achieve their sales objectives while truly enabling buyers, resulting in mutually successful outcomes that endure.

Hidden History of the Korean War: New Edition
The revival of a classic work of journalism which exposes the gap between the official story and reality
Proxy wars, it seems, are more openly practiced than ever–and yet one of the worst of these was suppressed and “forgotten” even in its own time. At the height of the McCarthy era and the inception of the Cold War, the great journalist I.F. Stone released The Hidden History of the Korean War, a courageous work of investigative journalism that demolished the official story of America’s so-called “forgotten war.” As the war spiraled to its conclusion, Stone closely analyzed openly available U.S. intelligence narratives on the war’s official start, and the actions of key players like John Foster Dulles, General Douglas MacArthur, and Chiang Kai-shek. The result of his investigations was a controversial book that raised questions about the origin of the war, made a case that the U.S. government had manipulated the United Nations, and gave evidence that the U.S. military and South Korean oligarchy dragged out the war by sabotaging peace talks. With a new introduction by Tim Beal and Greg Elich, 70 years after its initial publication The Hidden History of the Korean War remains a powerful dissemination of the ‘hidden history’ behind the dominant historical narrative, as relevant as ever.

The End of Advertising: Why It Had to Die, and the Creative Resurrection to Come
A recovering Mad Man throws down the ultimate challenge to his profession: Innovate or die.The ad apocalypse is upon us. Today millions are downloading ad-blocking software, and still more are paying subscription premiums to avoid ads. This $600 billion industry is now careening toward outright extinction, after having taken for granted a captive audience for too long, leading to lazy, overabundant, and frankly annoying ads. Make no mistake, Madison Avenue: Traditional advertising, as we know it, is over. In this short, controversial manifesto, Andrew Essex offers both a wake-up call and a road map to the future.
In The End of Advertising, Essex gives a brief and pungent history of the rise and fall of Adland–a story populated by snake-oil salesmen, slicksters, and search-engine optimizers. But his book is no eulogy. Instead, he boldly challenges global marketers to innovate their way to a better ad-free future. With trenchant wit and razor-sharp insights, he presents an essential new vision of where the smart businesses could be headed–a broad playing field where ambitious marketing campaigns provide utility, services, gifts, patronage of the arts, and even blockbuster entertainment. In this utopian landscape, ads could become so enticing that people would pay–yes, pay–to see them.
Praise for The End of Advertising
“New York media types aren’t quick to pass up a party, even one celebrating a book that predicts their demise. . . . The future of marketing will need to rely on creative, innovative models, Mr. Essex wrote, pointing to The Lego Movie and New York’s Citi Bike bicycle-share program as promising examples.”–The New York Times
“A rabble-rousing indictment of the ad industry from one of its own. Essex predicts that success will depend less on the ability to annoy and more on the capacity to create and entertain.”–Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take
“Fresh and timely, The End of Advertising is an eye-opening take on the current media landscape. And along with it, Essex provides a road map for how brands can reinvent themselves and navigate this new world.”–Arianna Huffington
“In this dynamic little book, Essex challenges brands–even those of us who pride ourselves on thinking outside the box–to think bigger still. He’s got me thinking.”–Neil Blumenthal, co-founder of Warby Parker
“Mandatory reading for anyone who wants to get a message across in this age of authenticity.”–Alexis Ohanian, co-founder, Reddit
