Agency leaders spend the majority of their time on three areas -
their people, clients and new business. These are all important
levers for consultancy growth. But too often, agency owners forget
two more essential tools for growth: attention to the numbers, and
investment in their leaders. The consultancy leadership role can
seem like an endless stream of fires to put out. It can leave
leaders feeling as if their team, or their clients, are running
their business rather than themselves. That's where this book comes
in. Grow, Build, Sell, Live features practical and implementable
advice and tools to address the day-to-day reality of running a
successful agency. In addition to giving guidance on people,
clients and new business, the book covers leadership and the
numbers in detail to ensure leaders have the tools and knowledge to
be in control. The content draws on proven approaches, helpful
science and real-life examples to give practical recommendations to
improve readers' ability to achieve the controlled growth which is
essential to agency success. If you are thinking about starting
your own agency; have started one and hit your first round of
growing pains, or are a veteran looking for an exit, this book is
for you. It will appeal to current and aspiring agency owners who
want to understand and be conscious of their choices and take
control of their agency.
Heart of the Crowd is an official oral history of Simple Minds,
mixing over 800 fan anecdotes with those of band members and other
collaborators and with an introduction written by Jim Kerr. The
book also features never before seen photographs, collectable
memorabilia and fans pictures capturing their live performances.
Simple Minds have been musical pioneers for 40 glittering years
selling over 60 million records. Catching the mood of the post-punk
era, when the angry sounds of 1977 were splintering into a thousand
different shapes, they emerged with a style rooted in the art-rock
of David Bowie and the electronic dance of Donna Summer. They went
on to become one of the great bands of their generation, deploying
rousing choruses and booming atmospherics to provide a soundtrack
that has endured. They topped the American chart with Don't You
(Forget About Me) and followed suit in the UK with Belfast Child.
Three of their 20 studio albums reached number one in the UK, they
starred at Live Aid and they played three momentous London shows in
honour of Nelson Mandela.
The Jam - The Day I Was There with a foreword written by Jam
drummer Rick Buckler. The book tells the story of The Jam in the
words of over 400 fans. With memories from the earliest shows at
clubs and pubs around Woking and London, UK and North American
tours through to their last ever gig in Brighton, England on 11th
December 1982. Told by the perspective of fans, promoters, studio
engineers, photographers and support acts the book includes
personal photographs, memorabilia, anecdotes and stories that have
never been published before. Formed in 1972 at Sheerwater Secondary
School in Woking, the band drew upon a variety of stylistic
influences over the course of their career, including 1960s beat
music, soul, rhythm and blues and psychedelic rock, as well as
1970s punk and new wave. Between 1977 and 1982, there were six
albums and 18 singles, including four number ones, and a journey
which encompassed no end of influences, styles, and textures.

When Rush concluded their R40 tour in 2015, fans of Geddy Lee, Alex
Lifeson and Neil Peart knew extensive touring was off the agenda.
But they hoped for a one off reunion gig or a festival appearance.
With the untimely death of drummer Neil Peart in January 2020,
those dreams were shattered. Across more than 40 years, the band
that had sold over 40 million albums and played in excess of 2,400
shows around the world were no more. With previously unseen photos
and fan memorabilia, Rush - The Day I Was There brings together
over 400 previously unpublished eye witness accounts to allow the
reader to take a journey back in time and recapture the experience
of seeing live the greatest ever power trio in rock.
Prince was that rare thing - a star not manufactured by a music
svengali or massaged in the studio by the industry but a shining
talent who burst onto the scene and played the game by his own
rules. His death in 2016 shocked the world because the world was
suddenly robbed of a multi-talented instrumentalist, songwriter,
hitmaker and performer who still had so much to give. His shows
were the stuff of legend - frequently outrageous, always
innovative, often memorable but never dull. From his live debut in
January 1979 to his final performance in April 2016, Prince
performed over 1,000 gigs and numerous after shows, often playing
small clubs to a handful of acolytes until dawn.
The book tells the story of Black Sabbath in the words of over 350
fans. Starting with memories from their earliest pre-Sabbath shows
as Earth in the North West of England, the book charts Sabbath's
gigging history through the drug-fuelled Seventies and a relentless
touring schedule on the back of the classic first six albums that
cast the die for heavy metal, fronted by legendary singer Ozzy
Osbourne and backed by Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward.
Encompassing numerous line up changes in the years since, including
vocalists Ronnie James Dio, Tony Martin, Ray Gillen and Ian Gillan,
this is a fan's eye view of how Black Sabbath went on to become the
greatest metal band of all time, selling over 70 million records
worldwide. Told from the perspective of fans the book includes
personal photographs, memorabilia, anecdotes and stories that have
never been published before.
