5.0 out of 5 stars What a great book., 26 Sep 2005

By Luke Sullivan - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Pick Me: Breaking into Advertising and Staying There (Adweek Book) (Paperback)

I haven't even finished reading this book yet and am logging on to tell students, interns, and all people new to the ad biz, buy this book. Buy it even before you buy the one I wrote ("Hey Whipple, Squeeze This. - A Guide To Creating Great Ads"). I'm serious. Well, okay, buy this one first. But then buy TWO copies of "Hey Whipple."

2.0 out of 5 stars Lots of good advices but..., 7 Dec 2010

By Marie-�ve - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Pick Me: Breaking into Advertising and Staying There (Adweek Book) (Paperback)

Don't get me wrong, this is a nice book with lots of advices. The reason it scored lower is because I already read almost everything that was in it on ihaveanidea.org, in the 'Ask Jancy' section by Janet Kestin and Nancy Vonk. So you can imagine my disappointment when I started reading it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Has all the answers any junior creative could ask, 3 Dec 2009

By ThisGuy - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Pick Me: Breaking into Advertising and Staying There (Adweek Book) (Paperback)

This is basically an Q/A book written by two highly respected CDs along with several contributions from other members of the creative world. Along with the Q/A there are short stories about experiences, helpful advice as well as explanations of the real world of advertising. Its like sitting one on one with an old friend, some of the answers are funny and just comforting.
