Skip the Agency, Go to Market! Advertising production is a trillion-dollar industry ripe for disruption, says Jon Sneider, the founder and president of Wild Gravity, a multi-award-winning creative production agency in Seattle, WA. Hacking Advertising, Sneider's authoritative debut work, comes as a result of his firsthand experience (as the client for some of the country's largest brands) of the mind-blowing inefficiencies of the advertising-production complex. While managing agencies for L.L.Bean, Windows, and Redfin, Sneider developed a vision that would allow him to make world-class adswithout the staggering costs, timelines, and complexities of traditional agencies. That compelling vision became a reality when Sneider launched his creative production shop that quickly ended up displacing agencies hundreds of times its size at billion-dollar brands. In Hacking Advertising, Sneider shares the secrets behind producing cinema-quality advertising with small teams of seasoned pros for giants like Amazon, Microsoft, Hasbro, Nintendo, Coca-Cola, LEGO, Zeiss, the NBA, and more. He presents a blueprint for brands to bypass the old agency model with a direct-to-production approach. Readers will learn how to save millions by sidestepping conventional shops and production models. Leaving no one in the cold, Sneider reveals how advertising agencies and production shops can evolve to become creative production agencies and unlock millions of dollars in revenue and profits. Sneider not only gives valuable insights into making advertising faster, less expensive . . . and better--he also delivers a thoroughly entertaining and engaging read with real stories from his multi-decade career working with the largest brands and most prominent agencies. Jon holds an MBA. in Entrepreneurship from Babson College and has over 25 years of experience in the advertising and marketing industry from both agency-side and client-side.

Find Fulfillment through Living Your Purpose - Do you want to be more fulfilled? - Do you long to find your purpose? - Do you want to find a job that will be both abundant and deeply satisfying? - Do you feel like something is missing in your life and no matter what you do, it never seems to fill the hole inside? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, this book is for you. In the The Universe Is Hiring, Anniston Riekstinsdoesn't just offer advice but also a roadmap to finding purpose and fulfillment. Drawing from her experience as a high-performance coach and co-founder of Inpower University, Riekstins offers stories from her own life and those of her clients to help readers see that they're not alone in their struggles and that transformation is possible. Many of us have inherited a collective belief system that includes the following-- - Life isn't meant to be easy. - Life isn't meant to be fun. - If an action isn't tied to a financial goal, it's a hobby and isn't as important. - Stop dreaming, get your head out of the clouds, and return to reality. - If you do what you love, you won't have enough money to survive. - Keep your head down, do the work, and you'll be fine. These beliefs worked for centuries to ensure an individual's security, protection, and survival. But what this collective belief system doesn't support is how to thrive. We were never taught in school how to be successful and fulfilled. We aren't given instructions on how to reach our dreams and feel satisfied, content, and enthusiastic every step of the way. And we're unclear how to experience true prosperity--which is the joy of doing what you were born to do while serving others and manifesting abundance at the same time. The Universe is Hiring is a call to step forward into living and expressing your unique purpose. It's a love note from the Universe reminding you that you are a one-of-a-kind, limited edition, never-to-be-replicated human being, and you came here to do something big. It's a wake-up call to get you out of sleepwalking through your life so you can remember and start living your heroic mission. It's a guide, pointing you down the path that will lead to everything you seek--abundance, fulfillment, joy, passion, and love. You'll learn practical strategies to overcome challenges--such as fear, limiting mindsets, imposter syndrome, and comparison--in order to step into your authentic selves and the roles you are destined for. While terms like destiny, manifestation, and inspiration can seem hard to pin down, Riekstins makes the abstract approachable through candid explanations and guided exercises, giving readers a practical toolkit for intentionally creating the life they desire. Anniston is a sought-after speaker who regularly hosts workshops and trainings for businesses and is co-host on the InPowered Life Podcast.
