daily bizcard 017: mark earls

Today’s “Daily Biz­card” design, “All Con­trol”, goes to one of my favo­rite mar­ke­ting thin­kers, Mark Earls.

Mark is one of the most res­pec­ted adver­ti­sing plan­ners in the UK. Nobody besi­des him and Clue­train have done more to cre­dibly trash the idea that “The Brand con­trols the con­ver­sa­tion”. He was one of the very first peo­ple in the agency world to take that sac­red cow out the back and shoot it in the head.

I came across Mark’s books about five years ago and it chan­ged my life. Since then we’ve become really good friends. To get an over­view of his work, check out the inter­view I did with him back in 2008.

[Mark, please send me an e-mail at gapingvoid@gmail.com with your ship­ping address and the details you want on the back of the biz­card, and I’ll send a free batch of 100 to you. Thanks!]
