About Hits
It’s a blog. It’s a training programme with infinite permutations. It’s a series of books. It’s a set of podcasts. It’s a pair of iphone and ipad apps. It’s probably the largest resource of its kind in the world. It’s over 150 books summarised on one page each. And even reduced to one sentence. It’s a masterclass in modern business ideas.
PRAISE FOR GREATEST HITS
“Author, Kevin Duncan, has a winning way with words, making both volumes not only informative but also highly entertaining. 9/10.” BA Business Life – October 2010
“Duncan has read the important business books so you don’t have to.”
“Kevin’s new book is the latest entry in the ever-growing literary black hole that is ‘ideas I wish I’d had’.”
“Solves a basic problem of modern business life.”
“With people working so much these days, they often have little time to keep up with the most important business literature. Kevin Duncan’s new book provides a brief solution to this problem.” Irish Times, 25/9/10
“Marketing’s first ever iPhone apps.”
“Duncan has done a neat job of filleting ideas to the bone.”
“A selection of current buzz thoughts that every marketer should probably at least recognize.”
“These little books and their app versions save buying and reading books…whose contents rarely merit the length, or price.”
Market Leader magazine, Quarter 1, 2011
“Simple…and simply brilliant. Five stars. A brilliant resource to have at your fingertips when you’ve got a knotty problem to solve or just ten minutes to while away…A great commuting tool too, to make the best use of those minutes when you’d rather be elsewhere.” John V. Willshire, Head of Innovation, PHD Media
“Marketing Greatest Hits is a dream come true. Though I read a lot of the best sellers I never seem to get through all of them. To have access to one book that provides an introduction, key nuggets and perspective on what works and what to watch for over 40 books is exceptional.
The ipad app is also brilliant with quick reference cards, extras, and easy access to information to support presentations, or simply to provide new insights.”
Judy Goldberg, Director, International Learning & Development at Discovery Communications
“Oh joy, someone’s read all the marketing books so we don’t have too. The neatest way I’ve found to up your knowledge of all the latest theories without spending the hours no-one has reading them all cover to cover. Thanks Kevin.”
John Clark, Planning Director, Coley Porter Bell
“He reads them all the way through so we don’t have to. Can Knighthoods be awarded for such services to humanity?”
Jon Leach, Planning Director, Bell Pottinger
“At last a book that means that you don’t have to feel guilty about not reading all those other books and case histories. Kevin is one sharp cookie – he can boil down whole books into a few pithy paragraphs. Vital source material for anyone who trains or people (like me) who are paranoid about not knowing….packed with ideas you can steal or adapt.”
Julian Saunders, Owner, The Joined Up Company
“Go to Kevin’s website and feel like you’re a child let loose in a sweet factory. So much common sense in one place.”
Jo Smith, Sales and Marketing Director, The Minimart
“I love these books. I now depend on Kevin to do most of my industry reading. Now I just need to get him to answer my emails, do my work and sort out my invoicing”
Dave Birss, The Bloke at GetAdditive.com
“Mr Duncan really takes the pith…out of all those interesting books I’ve been hoping (and failing) to find the time to read. An extremely useful and well-crafted shortcut to smartness.”
David Whitelam, Senior Client Director at BrainJuicer
