About the Author

Hieatt, David: - David Hieatt is not a theorist. He has built brands from nothing with next to nothing just by understanding a few basic rules. The 'Scrapbook Chronicles' Newsletter has become a cult newsletter for the Hiut Denim Co. Its open rate exceeds almost any standard. Before starting Hiut Denim in his home town of Cardigan, David worked at Saatchi and Saatchi and then built howies into one of the most influential active sports brands of the last decade. After selling howies to Timberland, he co-founded The Do Lectures. Voted in the top ten ideas festivals in the world by The Guardian, it now takes place in West Wales, California and Australia. David has spoken at Apple, Google, and many other top companies. He is the author of Do Purpose, published in 2014 by Do Books.
