Summary

Creativity is all around us. Not in art galleries. But on the train, at work, in the street outside, and in schools, hospitals, and restaurants. Creative vision exists wherever people are.

In this entertaining collection of real-life stories, Dave Trott applies his crystal clear lens to define what genuine creative vision looks like. It is problem solving, clarity of thought, seeing what others do not see, and removing complexity to make things as simple as you can.

The timeless lessons revealed here can be applied in advertising, business, and throughout everyday life. By seeing things differently, you can think differently, and change the world around you.

Dave Trott shows you how.

Ads is a different beast

Wish I’d listened to this book first would have saved me reading a number of BS marketing books ….

Captivating Stories, Poorly Read

It's actually a very good book, full of the human side of marketing. It's just read with a monotone voice and a complete lack of inspiration. Shame really. This is one I'd recommend buying the hard copy of.

interesting content, let down by poor reader

The reader spoiled this book for me by running everything together, bring unable to leave a pause between paragraphs.

Unusual anecdotes to illustrate marketing ideas

Interesting anecdotal stories about unusual situations to highlight different ways of thinking. Same tone throughout, so best listened to in small doses. Would have prefered to read book version.

Listen past the narrator

Great insights from Trott as always. Try to concentrate on the stories not the poor delivery and background noises! Pretty sure Brian Clough is pronounced ‘Cluff’ not ‘Clow’ 🙈

The narrator doesn’t do it justice

He talks at one speed. Doesn’t signpost new chapters or headings well at all. I love Dave Trott but this reading is murdering the book.

Terrible sound and reader. Great insights though.

Hissing sound. Poor intonation. Background noise. These are just a few examples of the bad audible experience you're about to get. Great book though.

This sounds like it was recorded in a wheelie bin

It’s such a shame that the lack of quality in this books recording gets in the way of properly enjoying it.
