How to buy a gorilla presents a new agency relationship paradigm for marketers to get better-value advertising ideas from their agencies.

This is a well-informed exploration of the eternal triangle of marketing, agency and procurement and will provide valuable guidance and insights to anyone involved in the purchase, management or creation of advertising.

--Mark Earls, aka HERDmeister, author of HERD, I'll Have What She's Having, and Copy, Copy, Copy'What gets measured gets managed.' This belief has led to the current business mania for quantification. However, in this timely and enjoyable book, David Meikle has discovered the unintended consequence of this rule: 'what gets mismeasured gets mismanaged.' his observation and suggestions are therefore essential not only for people in advertising and marketing, but in any of many businesses where incentives and value-creation have become badly misaligned.
