Book SynopsisNEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “A fascinating look at how consumers perceive logos, ads, commercials, brands, and products.”—TimeHow much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today’s message-cluttered world? In Buyology, Martin Lindstrom presents the astonishing findings from his groundbreaking three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study—a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what captures our interest—and drives us to buy. Among the questions he explores:• Does sex actually sell? • Does subliminal advertising still surround us? • Can “cool” brands trigger our mating instincts? • Can our other senses—smell, touch, and sound—be aroused when we see a product? Buyology is a fascinating and shocking journey into the mind of today's consumer that will captivate anyone who's been seduced—or turned off—by marketers' relentless attempts to win our loyalty, our money, and our minds.

Book SynopsisYugoslavia was unique among the communist countries of the Cold War era in its openness to mixing cultural elements from both socialism and capitalism. Unlike their counterparts in the nations of the Soviet bloc, ordinary Yugoslavs enjoyed access to a wide range of consumer goods and services, from clothes and appliances to travel agencies and discotheques. From the mid-1950s onward the political climate in Yugoslavia permitted, and at times encouraged, a consumerist lifestyle of shopping, spending, acquiring, and enjoying that engaged the public on a day-to-day basis through modern advertising and sales techniques. In Bought and Sold, Patrick Hyder Patterson reveals the extent to which socialist Yugoslavia embraced a consumer culture usually associated with capitalism and explores the role of consumerism in the federation''s collapse into civil war in 1991. Based on extraordinary research and featuring remarkable examples of Yugoslav print advertising and mass culture, this Trade ReviewBought and Sold is a splendid historical achievement that uncovers the lost realities of a lost country, and makes clearly visible a large part of what Yugoslavia was. Beautifully written and produced expertly by Cornell University Press, the book is bound to radically change and improve not just our understanding of the former Yugoslavia's consumer culture, but also our appreciation of the multi-dimensional reality of that vanished country. -- Gordana P. Crnkovic * Slavic and East European Journal *In this sophisticated yet readable analysis, Patterson argues that a culture of consumption was utterly central to the socialist experiment in Yugoslavia.... In a nation whose peoples held varied ethnic and religious identities, these consumer-driven aspirations constituted an integral element of cohesion in a society vulnerable to disaggregation.... Having addressed how consumer culture was crucial to the success of the Yugoslav sociopolitical experiment, Patterson ultimately demonstrates the centrality of consumer culture to that state in another way: its demise, when declining economic prospects convinced many Yugoslavs that their 'dream' was no longer attainable. Summing Up: Highly recommended. * Choice *Patterson captures the scale and shape of the buying, the power of advertising, and the effect of Yugoslav guest workers returning from capitalist consumer societies. He also chronicles the misgivings about consumer culture felt in some parts of society and their efforts to tame and then fight the values that came with the goods. Nonetheless, consuming held the country together. When the economic crisis hit in the 1980s, the good life dissipated, and Patterson maintains that the loss of that source of legitimacy did as much to sunder the country as the rise of ethnonationalism. -- Robert Legvold * Foreign Affairs *Table of ContentsPrologue.

Roberta Newman considers the simultaneous development of both industries, paying particular attention to the ways in which advertising spread the gospel of baseball and baseball helped develop consumers ready for advertising.Trade Review"Whether you have an interest in baseball, advertising, history in general or pop culture Newman’s Here’s the Pitch: The Amazing, True, New, and Improved Story of Baseball and Advertising is both an informative and entertaining read."—Mark McGee, NINE"An excellent piece of historical research and sophisticated analysis."—Richard C. Crepeau, Aethlon"[Here's the Pitch] makes for entertaining reading for the serious fan interested in the nexus of the history of advertising and the national pastime."—Bob Komoroski, Inside Game"Advertising can be subliminal, but its underlying influence among consumers is as strong today as it was when Cobb and Ruth urged fans to buy the products they were endorsing."—Bob D'Angelo, Sport in American History“Here’s the Pitch is a delight on every page.

Highly recommended.”—Robert Bellamy, professor of media and sports at Duquesne University"Newman considers the role of product endorsements in the creation of the culture of celebrity, and of celebrity baseball players in particular, as well as the ways in which new technologies have impacted the intersection of the two industries."—Jason Schott, Brooklyn Fans"Nine out of ten doctors recommend that you don't leave home without Here's the Pitch. . . . Newman tells how these two industries were ideal mates in impacting the USA's collective consciousness."—John Vorperian, SABR Lajoie Chapter newsletter"Here’s the Pitch should be referenced in any study of the relationship between the grand old game and the world of consumer product promotion.

This book focuses on the actors who had the greatest stake in successful merchandising.Trade Review“Selling Modernity is an excellent collection; every essay is superb. The contributors examine advertising and public relations in contrasting contexts: a monarchy, a liberal democracy, a popular dictatorship, a cold war democracy, a communist dictatorship, and a post–cold war reunited nation: what a historical laboratory!”—Claudia Koonz, author of The Nazi Conscience“A highly readable and wide-ranging compilation of innovative essays on German advertising and the people who produced it under dramatically different political regimes. This major contribution to understanding the culturally specific workings of modern economies will be of interest to specialists, students, and a broader audience.”—Uta G. Poiger, author of Jazz, Rock, and Rebels: Cold War Politics and American Culture in a Divided Germany“Advertising—this imaginative, erratic, and invasive aspect of capitalism—finds in Selling Modernity a creative and resourceful interpreter. The book marks an important shift from recent studies on consumer culture by emphasizing advertising as the link between production and consumption.

Book SynopsisAntarctica is, and has always been, very much “for sale.” Whales, seals, and ice have all been marketed as valuable commodities, but so have the stories of explorers. The modern media industry developed in parallel with land-based Antarctic exploration, and early expedition leaders needed publicity to generate support for their endeavors. Their lectures, narratives, photographs, and films were essentially advertisements for their adventures. At the same time, popular media began to use the newly encountered continent to draw attention to commercial products. These advertisements both trace the commercialization of Antarctica and reveal how commercial settings have shaped the dominant imaginaries of the place. By contextualizing and analyzing Antarctic advertisements from the late nineteenth century to the present, Brand Antarctica identifies five key framings of the South Polar continent: a place for heroes, a place of extremity, a place of purity, a placTrade Review“Innovative and engaging. . . . Brand Antarctica is packed full of intriguing reflections about a myriad of advertisements, packaging, and sensationalist materials. Hanne Nielsen shows remarkably clearly how Antarctica has been and continues to be commodified, marketized, and thematized.”—Klaus Dodds, professor of geopolitics at Royal Holloway University of London and author of Antarctica: A Very Short Introduction“This exploration into the materiality of place, and how it manifests in the Antarctic, offers surprising insights to readers who are less familiar with the Antarctic while also appealing to Antarctic research scholars. . . . Brand Antarctica includes a wide array of polar scholars, which offers others interested in the environmental humanities a ‘golden Rolodex’ of contemporary researchers.”—Leslie Carol Roberts, author of The Entire Earth and Sky: Views on Antarctica

Book SynopsisIn the early nineteenth century, the American commercial marketplace was a chaotic, unregulated environment in which knock-offs and outright frauds thrived. Appearances could be deceiving, and entrepreneurs often relied on their personal reputations to close deals and make sales. Rapid industrialization and expanding trade routes opened new markets with enormous potential, but how could distant merchants convince potential customers, whom they had never met, that they could be trusted? Through wide-ranging visual and textual evidence, including a robust selection of early advertisements, Branding Trust tells the story of how advertising evolved to meet these challenges, tracing the themes of character and class as they intertwined with and influenced graphic design, trademark law, and ideas about ethical business practice in the United States. As early as the 1830s, printers, advertising agents, and manufacturers collaborated to devise new ways to advertise goods. They used eye-catching designs and fonts to grab viewers’ attention and wove together meaningful images and prose to gain the public’s trust. At the same time, manufacturers took legal steps to safeguard their intellectual property, formulating new ways to protect their brands by taking legal action against counterfeits and frauds. By the end of the nineteenth century, these advertising and legal strategies came together to form the primary components of modern branding: demonstrating character, protecting goodwill, entertaining viewers to build rapport, and deploying the latest graphic innovations in print. Trademarks became the symbols that embodied these ideas—in print, in the law, and to the public. Branding Trust thus identifies and explains the visual rhetoric of trust and legitimacy that has come to reign over American capitalism. Though the 1920s has often been held up as the birth of modern advertising, Jennifer M. Black argues that advertising professionals had in fact learned how to navigate public relations over the previous century by adapting the language, imagery, and ideas of the American middle class.Trade Review"Why would anyone trust an advertisement? Why, especially, in the long nineteenth century when novel products and media entered rapidly growing markets from unfamiliar sources? Jennifer M. Black probes these and other questions in Branding Trust, the most significant study of American advertising history in a generation. Masterful insights follow from her immense and innovative research to explain how pioneers in print advertising designed imagery to convey their trustworthiness and legitimacy. Through her rare appreciation for the interplay of evolving media, markets, courts, and diverse cultures, Black explains and generously illustrates the history of advertising’s visual rhetoric." * Pamela Walker Laird, author of Advertising Progress: American Business and the Rise of Consumer Marketing *"Jennifer Black recasts our understanding of how American capitalism came to rest so powerfully on corporate brands. That process involved a century of experimentation by manufacturers, merchants, advertising firms, and publishers, all of whom wrestled with the moral economy of competition, the legal boundaries of fraud, and the underpinnings of consumer trust amid industrialization. The establishment of reputations for quality, Black shows, was bound up as much with debates over gender roles and racial hierarchies as it was with technological advances, inventiveness in graphic design, and efforts to track consumer response to ad campaigns." * Edward J. Balleisen, author of Fraud: An American History from Barnum to Madoff *

Book SynopsisA deep dive into the political roots of advertising on the internet The contemporary internet’s de facto business model is one of surveillance. Browser cookies follow us around the web, Amazon targets us with eerily prescient ads, Facebook and Google read our messages and analyze our patterns, and apps record our every move. In Profit over Privacy, Matthew Crain gives internet surveillance a much-needed origin story by chronicling the development of its most important historical catalyst: web advertising.The first institutional and political history of internet advertising, Profit over Privacy uses the 1990s as its backdrop to show how the massive data-collection infrastructure that undergirds the internet today is the result of twenty-five years of technical and political economic engineering. Crain considers the social causes and consequences of the internet’s rapid embrace of consumer monitoring, detailing how advertisers and marketers adapted to the existential threat of the internet and marshaled venture capital to develop the now-ubiquitous business model called “surveillance advertising.” He draws on a range of primary resources from government, industry, and the press and highlights the political roots of internet advertising to underscore the necessity of political solutions to reign in unaccountable commercial surveillance.The dominant business model on the internet, surveillance advertising is the result of political choices—not the inevitable march of technology. Unlike many other countries, the United States has no internet privacy law. A fascinating prehistory of internet advertising giants like Google and Facebook, Profit over Privacy argues that the internet did not have to turn out this way and that it can be remade into something better.Trade Review"A surveillance-oriented internet was not inevitable. As Matthew Crain brilliantly documents, the data-obsessed web was manifested to appease and uphold the advertising beast. By untangling the historic strings of policy, politics, and financial interests, Profit over Privacy invites the reader to question why we've come to accept the panoptic internet we know today."—danah boyd, author of It’s Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens"In this exceptionally insightful and important book, Matthew Crain presents a definitive history of the evisceration of internet privacy. Rooted in a deep understanding of the history of advertising markets and the political economy of finance, Profit over Privacy focuses readers' attention on the fundamental forces demanding ever more data about our lives. Although it tells a dark story, its accessible and lively prose makes it a pleasure to read—and provides the historical knowledge necessary to help future regulators avoid the many mistakes of the past."—Frank Pasquale, author of New Laws of Robotics: Defending Human Expertise in the Age of AI "The book provides a fascinating look at the way that commercial and private interests and the companies and lobbyists representing them wonout over other interests, such as public ownership and public interests,in anumber of debates and processes largely in the United States that created the global internet infrastructure we have now... Anyone interested in online and digital spaces, surveillance practices, the history of internet companies,and discussions of public policy in the internet age should want to read Profit Over Privacy."—Surveillance & Society"Revealing the emergence of a market logic that has placed individual surveillance at its core, this is a forceful and engaging book."—LSE Review of Books"His writing skills, including his ability to make the sociopolitical complexities of political economy accessible and engaging for a broad audience, from undergraduates to business executives, are most impressive."—International Journal of Communication"Brilliantly researched and thoroughly documented, the book argues that surveillance capitalism could not have existed outside of politics."—Technical Communication"In documenting the historical development of surveillance advertising, Crain makes a forceful argument against the status quo in favor of strong privacy laws."—College & Research LibrariesTable of ContentsContentsIntroduction1.

Book SynopsisThe branding bible for today's globalized world Today, brands have become even more important than the products they represent: their stories travel with lightning speed through social media and the Internet and across countries and diverse cultures. A brand must be elastic enough to allow for reasonable category and product-line extensions, flexible enough to change with dynamic market conditions, consistent enough so that consumers who travel physically or virtually won't be confused, and focused enough to provide clear differentiation from the competition. Strong brands are more than globally recognizable; they are critical assets that can make a significant contribution to your company's bottom line. In Global Brand Power, Kahn brings brand management into the 21st century, addressing how branding contributes to the purchase process and how to position a strong global brand, from identifying the appropriate competitive set, offering a sustainable differential advantage, and targeting the right strategic segment. This essential guide also covers how customer ownership of your brand affects marketing strategy, methods for assessing brand value, how to manage a brand for long-term profitability, effective brand communications and repositioning strategies, and how to manage a brand in a world of total transparency—where one slip-up can go around the world via social media instantaneously. Filled with stories about how Coca-Cola, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., Marriott, Apple, Starbucks, Campbell Soup Company, Southwest Airlines, and celebrities like Lady Gaga are leveraging their brands, Global Brand Power is the only book you will need to implement an effective brand strategy for your firm.Trade Review"Regardless of your industry, building a brand is synonymous today with building a company and a thriving business. As Barbara Kahn points out in Global Brand Power, the key is to begin and end every discussion thinking about what is right for the customer. At Macy's, Inc., we saw a dramatic improvement in business trends when we reorganized our business model and consciously put the customer at the center of all decisions. The principles presented in Global Brand Power can benefit every business leader." --Terry J. Lundgren, chairman, president, CEO and Chief Customer Officer, Macy's, Inc. "Great global brands have to be built and don't happen by chance. Barbara Kahn explores and develops the relationship between customer and brands and how to achieve international loyalty. I learned new information from reading this book." --Roger Farah, President and COO, Ralph Lauren Corporation "In our fast-changing world, visionary business leaders must build a brand flexible enough to grab key opportunities and strong enough to weather any storm. Barbara Kahn's Global Brand Power is a superb must-read for those who want to do just that and position their brands for long-term, global growth." --George Feldenkreis, Chairman and CEO, Perry Ellis International "Kahn has captured the true essence of brand stewardship. That is, while strong brands are managed by marketers, they are owned by consumers. Global Brand Power is a concise yet comprehensive tutorial for how to purposefully build, measure and manage brands for sustained relevancy. A great resource for brand marketers, consumer researchers and marketing services providers." --Philip McGee, Director, Shopping Insights, Campbell Soup Co.

Book SynopsisThis work tells the full story of the weapons, including fighter-planes, tanks, ships, and guns, that America produced during the war to defeat the Axis powers, and how they were "sold" to those at home through the countless advertisements that appeared in popular magazines. Though well-known companies such as General Motors, Ford, Kelvinator, and B.F. Goodrich, and a whole host of others, could no longer sell their products to consumers, they instead turned their factories towards supplying the Arsenal of Democracy. In order to keep their names in the public spotlight, these companies advertised in great detail the weapons they were building; Cadillac touted its efforts in supplying components for Sherman tanks and P-38 Lightning fighters, Ford no longer built cars in Detroit, but B-24 Liberator bombers and Jeeps, while the home appliance company Kelvinator built aircraft components and flame-throwers. The story behind these advertisements, many of them stunning visuals which are here reproduced in color, is a unique aspect of World War II history that will both surprise and delight.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Part I: Selling the War on the Home Front; 1 Advertising Basics during World War II; 2 "Reading" the Popular Magazine Ads; Part II: Weapons of War in the Magazine Pages; 3 Tanks and Other Armored Vehicles; 4 Naval Vessels Big and Small; 5 Army Air Force Fighters and Bombers; 6 Navy Fighters, Bombers, and other Aircraft; 7 Military Utility Vehicles; 8 Guns and Other Ordnance; Source Bibliography.

Book SynopsisThe complex issues of sustainability and social marketing are gaining increasing global attention. This increased concern for environmental welfare has started to affect the way marketers, managers and policy makers think and organize their businesses. In Western culture, there has been widespread discussion on green related issues; however, different cultures are at different stages in embracing this global change, and local conditions can greatly affect how strategies are enacted. Sustainability and Social Marketing Issues in Asia applies this discussion to Asian culture, using case studies that reflect the problems and success of nine countries – Malaysia, Brunei, the Philippines, Indonesia, Iran, Syria, Sri Lanka, India, and Pakistan – in adopting green and social marketing concepts. These concepts include: triple bottom line; social entrepreneurialism; sustainability marketing; green marketing; sustainable energy, sustainable agriculture, sustainable ecosystems, social development, waste management problem, refugee crisis, care for animals and corporate social responsibility. The cases outlined in this book illustrate how companies and organizations operating in Asian countries incorporate sustainability and environmental concepts into their social marketing strategy. It will appeal to researchers and practitioners, working in the fields of social marketing, consumer behavior, corporate social responsibility, organizational behavior and sustainability.Table of ContentsSECTION 1: GREEN AND SUSTINABILITY Chapter 1.
