Drayton Bird

The CIM named Drayton Bird one of 50 people who shaped today’s marketing. And David Ogilvy said he “knows more about direct marketing than anyone in the world.”

But don't blame him for all the crap you get sent.

Drayton_Bird_Commonsense_MarketingHe published his first novel, “Some rats run faster” when 27. Hardly anyone read this brilliant work as it had virtually no plot. 4 more books followed: “Commonsense Direct and Digital Marketing” – out in 17 languages; “Salesletters that sell” & “Marketing Insights and Outrages” and "Direct Marketing for Lawyers".

He's written over 1,000 columns, spoken in 50 countries and worked with many leading brands, incl. Amex, BA, Hargreaves Lansdown, Mercedes, Microsoft, Nestle, P & G, IBM, Unilever and Visa. In 1977, he and two partners set up Trenear-Harvey, Bird & Watson, sold in l985 to O&M. As Vice-Chairman and Creative Director, he helped O&M Direct become the world's largest DM agency network, and was elected to the worldwide Ogilvy Group board.

He now runs Drayton Bird Associates and has interests in 3 other firms.

The ones he never visits do much better.
