About the book: 
Written by two experienced political communicators, this short, punchy and irreverent book reveals spin-doctor secrets for managing the media in an ethical way.
 
Many people will have to encounter the media at some time in their lives: CEOs, sportspeople, politicians, social media users, celebrities, thought leaders, academics, bloggers, authors – the list is endless. Spin  is a go-to book that explains what to do when the media comes calling. Whether you’ve done something wonderful and newsworthy or something you wish no one knew about, this book will teach you how to maximise the good news and manage the bad. Spin will also introduce you to a previously well-guarded political methodology that actually harnesses the media and which, if used carefully, can grow your business or make you famous. 
 
Using real-life examples from the cauldron of politics, Spin  covers essentials like brand strategy, practical media skills, driving issues, social media, crisis communications and ethics. This is a unique and valuable resource that will help you master the media.
 
There are many books on the shelves or online to hone your skills in brand building and media relations. But I haven’t read any as pithy, concise and contemporary as  Spin, which has its roots in the ruthless world of political shenanigans. Not only are the business lessons priceless, but you will enjoy the local and international vignettes which drive home the messages.’ – Derek Watts
