Dive Brief:

Dive Insight:
Zimmerman is certainly living up to his book title, though the campaign could be interpreted by many as arrogant. The truth, however, is that it works. The advertiser is getting plenty of attention for his book with this stunt. Whether it's ultimately the kind of attention he wants is another matter entirely.
