More than a book about an ad agency.

Mike Hughes is the President and ECD at The Martin Agency. He is my boss. He is a 2-time lung cancer survivor. A couple years ago, Mike gave a stirring commencement address at a college graduation. The topic was "work, life and balance in this crazy business called advertising." I read it and thought it could be much more. With the help of David Grindon, a young AD at Martin, we re-tooled the words for a broader audience, added some great photos and design, and created "Welcome to the beautifully imperfect company." We have given it to all of our employees. And every new hire will receive a copy. But what I love most? It's now on sale at Hennessy & Ingalls in LA. We hope to make it available to a wider auidience soon. I will keep you posted.
