BATB score: 7/10 from š° to š²
Best to: know that 90% of advertising doesn't work; advertising is not all that powerful to make behavioural changes, incremental sales, or a shift in societal norm #blahblah. To quote the book, all that advertising does is to "give client an edge over their competitor" ; that's all.
Best for: communications major students / graduates who are off doing a variety of jobs for a pay check - hello! me included šāāļø (who said we're in this advertising industry because we're šÆ passionate about it?!?)
Best as: the first 80 pages of the book was legit good; the rest was trying too hard to make minuscule points.
