It recommends starting with pen and paper instead of PowerPoint; having a tight brief to stay focused; exploring, analyzing, and understanding the problem; thinking like the consumer; having a clear insight, proposition, idea, or strategy; using data and analysis to support rather than fill gaps; telling a story; showing before telling; going beyond the brief; and not giving away everything. The author thanks the reader in multiple languages at the end.
