The thought of reading about marketing communications is not the most interesting or exciting of topics! Just looking at the sheer thickness of this book makes you wonder how you are ever going to find the will to reach the end!
However, Chris Fill does an excellent job of bringing the subject alive and very readable. The book is structured into concise chapters and broken down into subjects so you understand the linkage between ideas.
I really found the real life case studies that frequently appear throughout the book provoked your thoughts and gave the theoretical concepts a practical approach. The author has obviously had access to those people within organisations who were at the sharp end, making decisions and explained the most important question: Why they did what they did?
Some of the more complicated theories are explained in detailed diagrams which breaks the text up and are evenly spread.
This text covers a wide spectrum with 'suggested approaches' and can spark interesting debate.
Definitely a text to purchase to talk through this subject in a structured way - I'll be purchasing more of Chris Fill's work if this is the approach taken of what could be described as a vast subject to learn about.
