"This is the book I wish I had written. Andy Law has redefined the agency for the twenty-first century. It will be interesting to see how many agencies follow his lead."? Jay Chiat, Founder, Chiat/Day "Passion. Rebellion. Guts. Glory. This book has the breathy pace of a thriller. The story of how St. Luke?s takes on the advertising establishment is a merger of the ballad of Robin Hood?s merry band and the story of David and Goliath. In fact, it?s a parable not just for the advertising business, but for all business today and tomorrow. St. Luke?s is definitely on to something."? Marty Cooke, Executive Creative Director, M&C Saatchi "Andy Law is one of the few creative executives who has learned by doing, not just telling. So it?s exciting to have him chronicle all that learning for us. Having watched him build St. Luke?s from the start, it feels like watching Neil Armstrong take his first step on the moon?s surface. He is truly pioneering how companies will have to be run in the twenty-first century."? Geraldine B.

It is a must-read for managers who want to bring out exceptional performance in their team?or for anyone who wants insight into the future of business."?
