Le Carré's wisdom: What unites spies and marketers
John le Carré was the pen name of David Cornwell. He would have turned 94 on 19 October, but passed away in 2020. He worked in the British intelligence service before writing some of the most morally intricate novels of the 20th century. His fictional world was one of duplicity, divided loyalties and muted heroism. It's an atmosphere that, strangely enough, marketers should feel at home with. After all, modern brands too live by trust, ambiguity and the art of persuasion in a world that seldom tells the whole truth.
