Great list! Nice to see Sun Tzu’s Art of War was not on there (very cliche)
The Copywriters Handbook – required reading for ad/pr students
Ogilvy on Advertising – also required
I would add to the list:
The New Rules of Marketing and PR by David Meerman Scott
Crush It by Gary V
Confessions of an Economic Hitman by John Perkins (just a good read)
Awesome additions, Spencer! Thanks for your input.
