    Cool book. Of all the great stuff in it, the chapter by Brian Millar is really amazing.

    It’s not so much about breaking into the industry, it’s more about breaking into one side of it. It is a bit irrelevant if you want to gain a management position or be a strategic planner, but if you want to be in the creative department, have a read. It has generally good advice but it is not the best ad book for students/beginners in the field.
