About The Book
The Business Skills Every Creative Needs!
Remaining relevant as a creative professional takes more than creativity--you need to understand the language of business.

Raves and Reviews
"This book is what separates good designers, from great designers. It bridges the often neglected gap between business, design and strategy. A must have resource." --Jacob Cass, Brand Identity Consultant and Founder of Just Creative
"If Davis' book isn't the best book written for strategists, it is waaaaaay up there. Last time I liked a strategist's book this much was Steel's Truth, Lies, and Advertising." --Luke Sullivan, Author of Hey, Whipple, Squeeze This: The Classic Guide to Creating Great Ads
“Creatives are often pigeonholed by our industry as just “artists”. But not if we all read this book. Finally there’s an in-depth guide to help designers, copywriters and others infuse strategic business-thinking into every piece of creative work” --Pete Barry, Creative Director and Author of The Advertising Concept Book
"Every designer/creative should have Creative Strategy and The Business of Design as a cornerstone in their reference library. This is a great book because it's concise without lacking, thorough and to the point, and an easy read that I'll be referencing again and again." --Glenford Laughton
