The book provides the definitive case studies of nine campaigns - political, corporate and entertainment - from the 1970s to the present day. It explains their strategies and tactics, looks at the imagery and icons they created and interviews the powerful, flamboyant personalities who crafted and executed these seminal projects.

This audiobook examines Thatcherism, New Labour, Britain's royal family, the Rolling Stones, David Beckham, the London 2012 Olympics, Product (RED), Obama for America and Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty.

In addition, Campaigns that Shook the World contains exclusive interviews with campaign gurus such as Alastair Campbell, Matthew Freud, Simon Fuller and Lord Tim Bell.

Extremely disappointing

The title of the book promises a lot, yet the substance delivers very little. It is essentially a very simple overview of PR campaigns without any in-depth analysis or insight. Given the author is well known in the PR industry I was looking forward to this read and hoped to pick up some fresh insights, but was left disappointed. Even those new to PR / communications will struggle to take any meaningful insight from this book.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
