Lorraine Heggessey, Advisor, Channel 4 Growth Fund and former Controller BBC One I don't think I have ever read a more comprehensive account of the craft of marketing in television. There are many inspiring examples within an increasingly complex industry, which makes this book really valuable, as it describes the landscape so entirely. Armed with it perhaps the TV marketing and branding fraternity can bring simplicity, joy and fun to communications despite that complexity.
Martin Lambie-Nairn, author of Brand Identity for Television and founder Lambie-Nairn [T]here is a paucity of material on all matters television marketing - and what there is often quite stuffy and academic. This is why I recommend Charlie Mawer and Andy Bryant's (of RedBee fame) book TV Brand Builders.

Jeremy Darroch, CEO Sky Plc Fragmented, segmented, bundled, unbundled, TV marketing today apes 3D chess. Thoroughly researched and wonderfully compiled, this book transmits a clear picture of advertising and marketing's special role.
Tim Lefroy, Chief Executive Advertising Association Was it ever true in TV that 'if you build it, they will come'? It's certainly not so any more in our exciting multi-screen, on-demand, dynamic industry. The art and science of TV marketing was never so vital, nor so full of possibility. But there are good reasons why it's still one of the most dysfunctional marketing jobs around, as frustrating as it is rewarding. This book, written by two people who have practised what they preach for many years at the heart of some of the most iconic TV marketing campaigns, is an absolute gold mine of best practice case studies, insider anecdotes and wise counsel. It covers every aspect of marketing TV from channels to programmes and from genres to sub-audiences. If you're trying to unpick your 'timeless principles' from your 'seismic changes', as you nobly serve audiences, producers and broadcasters, you'd be dotty not to have this book at your side.
