Big admirer of David Hieatt... Now he shares how a newsletter can have a great impact on your business. Couldn't agree more. Full of practical, helpful tips.
Tina Roth Eisenberg, founder of Tattly and Creative Mornings
Don’t be fooled by its pocket-sized appearance, this book is full of transformative tools from entrepreneur and founder of howies and Hiut Denim. David Hieatt packs in some great advice for business minded folk.
Nathan Maker, No Guts No Glory
A super tool focused on improving engagement with your community, which can be a real challenge in a social-media-heavy, time-poor world. Highly recommended.

About the author
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 offering from his company, Hiut Denim. Its open rate exceeds almost any industry standard and it is one of those rare emails that people actually look forward to receiving. And it has delivered results. It has grown the company by 25 per cent each year for the last three years. In 2024, Hiut Denim was featured on BBC2's Inside the Factory.
David is co-founder of The Do Lectures and has spoken at Apple, Google and Red Bull, amongst others. He is the author of Do Purpose: Why brands with a purpose do better and matter more (Do Books, 2013) and The Path of a Doer (2010, 2020). He lives in West Wales.
