With a foreword from WPP CEO MartinSorrell, "Campaigns that Shook the World" provides the inside story on 10 of these pivotal campaigns, examining their strategy and tactics, the imagery and icons they created, and the powerful personalities behind them. Each chapter is built around extended case studies (Dove's Campaign for Real Beauty, London 2012Olympic Games), and provides an accessible account of modern PR and its interaction with cultural icons, such as the RoyalFamily, Margaret Thatcher, David Beckham, the Rolling Stones, and newsworthy events, including Barack Obama's 2008 Presidential campaign.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Danny's book identifies some of the best apple polishers in the business, and examines the role they played in many of the defining campaigns - personal and political, commercial, sporting and cultural - of the modern era.<br><i>Campaigns that Shook the World</i> is testament to the effectiveness of great communications. It's more, though, than a welcome addition to the marketing canon. The people and campaigns it explores have shaped the world in which we live - our politics, media, culture and society - in entertaining, controversial and fascinating style.</p>-- "Taken from the foreword by Sir Martin Sorrell"<br><br>An easy read that opens the door to our business to a wider audience, who with the advance of real time channels are every hungry to see behind the doors of celebrity and cultural milestones. The public may know the end result but can now understand the machinery, professionalism and heart that powers them.-- "Jackie Cooper, Global Chair, Creative Strategy, Edelman"<br><br>Danny Roger's book tells the story of purposeful organisations engaging with publics both via the media and directly. Rogers is your expert guide. His writing is honest and candid. He doesn't dodge the criticism frequently levelled at public relations and mounts a strong defence for the profession. The book examines public relations for sport, personality, politics and brand. Case studies ranging from the Royal Family to Unilever's Dove are all benchmarked against a rigorous planning model. Rogers consolidates his expert analysis with a manifesto for modern public relations engagement. It's a book that students and practitioners alike will want to read and re-read.-- "Stephen Waddington, Chief Engagement Officer, Ketchum; Visiting Professor, Newcastle University"<br><br>Danny Rogers has written a fascinating account of some of the great PR campaigns of recent times. He identifies the core elements of successful PR; authenticity, focus and leadership and describes these campaigns in a lively and highly readable style. A must read for aspiring PR practitioners and seasoned observers.-- "Simon Lewis OBE, Chief Executive, Association for Financial Markets in Europe (AFME)"<br><br>No-one is better qualified to write this book than Danny Rogers and he has done the subject proud. The book works both as an academic treatise and an entertaining read. It gets under the bonnet to show how the campaigns came about and details the impact the campaigns made on our society. It should definitely be read by all current and aspiring PR people and I hope a few of those sceptics outside our profession take the time to read it too.-- "Giles Fraser, Co-Founder, Brands2Life"<br><br>The age of public relations has long deserved a great book.
