Collaborations

Memoir

Dave Buonaguidi has been a maverick in the advertising world for over 30 years. This book is a rambling journey through his diverse career, from small London ad agencies to top multinationals. Along the way he co-founded four creative agencies, found success as a print artist and now works as a business adviser to start-ups and a public speaker.

Littered with stupid points of view, ridiculous rants, a few bits of art and other stories, this is part memoir, part business book, for anyone who hates the status quo but wants to work hard, make brilliant work and be happy doing it.

Business

If you’re running an Inspired Company your workday looks like this: You have a mission with many winners. You execute it with passion. You are unapologetic in your refusal to be railroaded by existing systems or corporate norms. You are committed to doing the right thing. You take direction from your customers, employees, and company “outsiders.” They give you their support and trust in return. All of your profits are derived from your mission, not from penalizing your customers or other stakeholders. That’s a company the world will get behind. A world as invested in your success as you are.

Memoir

David Sellu was a surgeon with a distinguished record extending over forty years. In 2010, a patient died under his care in a private hospital. There followed a sequence of extraordinary events that led to David being prosecuted and convicted for the patient’s death and sent to prison. His licence to practise medicine was suspended, his career cut short. Events that took place later showed that this was an unfair trial with tinges of racism, and he won an appeal against his conviction and is now a free man. But the damage had already been done.

This book tells his extraordinary story for the first time, in his own words.
