The U.K. has been the birthplace of some of the most influential and talented advertising professionals: David Ogilvy, Charles and Maurice Saatchi, Paul Arden, John Webster, and many others.
Dave Trott, chairman of The Gate, is another talented British ad man. He has written some of the most compelling adverts to come out the U.K., and his blog is a must-read. I recently read “Creative Mischief,” Trott’s compilation of blog posts and writings on advertising. It’s an entertaining read, full of humor, stories, and commentary on advertising. Grab a copy of the book — it’s worth it — and check out these top quotes. Be prepared to be entertained, challenged, and inspired.
