Exceptionally Helpful by Carrie
This book helped me so much with all my agencies. I’m an assistant brand manager at a big company in NJ, and everyone I speak with has a different way to manage the agency. Some say “beat ‘em up.” Others say “stroke them.” Salz says “here’s the challenges you face; here’s where they’re coming from; here’s what can go wrong; here’s how you fix it; here’s how you make things go right from the start of a project until it ends.” That’s just what I needed. I really loved the quotes from managers at other companies and from agency people. I recommend
this book highly.
