A revelatory guide to creativity in business from Nike's pioneering Chief Marketing Officer.

'The marketing genius behind Nike . . . Greg Hoffman has inspired me tremendously' β€” Steven Bartlett, author of Happy Sexy Millionaire

Greg Hoffman joined Nike as a 22-year-old design intern. Over the next thirty years, he would help craft some of the most iconic campaigns in historyβ€”for Ronaldo and Serena, Olympic Games, and World Cup finals. Now, he unveils a transformative method that will make any brand more creative: emotion by design.

'An unforgettable account of a man and a business that never had to try to be someone else's idea of coolβ€”because they had already defined it themselves' β€” Rory Sutherland, Vice-Chairman of Ogilvy and author of Alchemy
