    Book SynopsisThe wise man knows he doesn't know.The fool doesn't know he doesn't know.Lao TzuIn the West they only respect experts.But the expert mind is the closed mind.Shunryu SuzukiWhat's the most important step in fixing a puncture?It isn't jacking up the car, or taking the wheel off, or finding the puncture.There's something more fundamental than any of those.Something without which you can't even begin to fix a puncture. The most important step is finding out you've got a puncture. Without that you can't do anything.Instead of saying, It's just a bit bumpy, must be the road, and carrying on, you must acknowledge that something has changed and you don't know what that is.If you don't admit you don't know what's happening, you can never find out.If you don't find out, you can never change it.The most important step, always, is admitting you don't know.That's the power of ignorance.In this latest collection of real-life stories, Dave Trott provides lessons about problem solving and creative thinking that can be applied in advertising, business, and the wider world. With his trademark wit, wisdom and critical eye, he shows how great problem solvers and creative thinkers are those who are not afraid to say I don't know.

    Book SynopsisAt the beginning of the decade, America was at war. Patriotism was an integral part of everyday life, with the sentiment mirrored in advertising. As America emerged victorious out of the darkness of World War II in 1945, the economic boom of the era helped usher in the most dramatic rise in quality of life, excess, and consumerism. The war’s end also brought unprecedented pride and prosperity to the American people, and nothing reflects the new wave of consumerism and progress more than the ads of the time. Spending power dramatically increased in the decade’s second half, with plentiful jobs and higher wages. Because of the new GI Bill, affordable housing was made available to returning war veterans for the first time. People were ready to embrace the idea of the American Dream.The postwar era represented a flood of products and services for every need and occasion, reaching every corner of society. Everything from entertainment to travel and automobiles, alcohol and tobacco, fashion and beauty, and food and beverage was in high demand and within reach. This period opened the floodgates of buying as advertisers sought to meet the needs of a population recovering from years of rationing. This engaging collection edited by Jim Heimann dives into the frenetic, lively, and brilliant era of American life and advertising in the 1940s.Trade Review“As mirrors on forties culture and values, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into a formative era of American design.” * Metropolis *

    Book SynopsisFirst collected by his devoted family and colleagues as a 75th birthday present, The Unpublished David Ogilvy collects a career's worth of public and private communications - memos, letters, speeches, notes and interviews - from the 'Father of Advertising' and founder of Ogilvy & Mather. Still fizzing with energy and freshness more than 25 years after it was first published, its success outside the private circle of friends and colleagues it was created for was, in the words of one of its editors: 'because so often he spoke out on important matters long before the crowd caught up to him; because all of what he says, he says so well; because so little of what he says in the book had ever before appeared in print'. It includes The Theory and Practice of Selling the AGA Cooker, described by Fortune magazine as 'the finest sales instruction manual ever written', and an interview in which he makes disclosures that even long-standing associates had never heard before. This is a business book unlike any other: a straightforward and incisive look at subjects such as salesmanship, management and creativity, presented in his trademark crisp prose. Whether carefully prepared for a lecture or as a private joke to a friend, his writing always underlines the importance of the rule, 'it pays an agency to be imaginative and unorthodox'.Trade ReviewPraise for Confessions of an Advertising Man: 'Still fresh - full of pithy points about not only advertising but also business * Evening Standard *Ogilvy is the creative force of modern advertising * New York Times *Small wonder that his staff treasured his sayings and could turn up memos decades later.

    BIS Publishers B.V. Think Like an Adman, Don't Act Like One

    Book SynopsisAdvertising is far more than a 30-second commercial on TV. It's everything you do to lure people into different behaviours, into other perspectives, or different options. You're advertising all day long. For yourself, your company or brand. Your NGO, political party or school. Your neighbourhood, city or country. In every conceivable way. By telling stories. Or twisting the facts. By making some things seem more attractive and others uglier. By sketching out an alternative. By stimulating people or discouraging them. And the nice thing about advertising is that everyone does it. But only a few are any good at it (just look around you).This book is for anyone who wants to learn how to seduce. A loved one, a colleague, a client or, indeed, a large group of people. And, once you've read this book, you won't have to be an advertiser to do it.

    Book SynopsisThe popular image of a mid-century ad woman is of a feisty girl beating men at their own game, a female Horatio Alger protagonist battling her way through the sexist workplace. But before the fictional rise of Peggy Olson or the real-life stories of Patricia Tierney and Jane Maas came Jean Wade Rindlaub: a female powerbroker who used her considerable success in the workplace to encourage other women--to stick to their kitchens. The Angel in the Marketplace is the story of one of America's most accomplished advertising executives. It is also the story of how advertisers like Rindlaub sold a postwar American dream of capitalism and a Christian corporate order. Rindlaub was responsible for award-winning, mega sales-generating advertisements for all things domestic, including Oneida Silverware, Betty Crocker Cake Mix, Campbell's Soup, and Chiquita Bananas. Her success largely came from embracing, rather than subverting, the cultural expectations of women. She believed her responsibility Trade Review“Wayland-Smith’s lively history tells the unusual story of pioneering adwoman Jean Wade Rindlaub, who climbed the ladder from secretary to executive in the mid-twentieth century. Wayland-Smith insightfully shows how Rindlaub touted motherhood, home, love, and Christian service as the cornerstones of the free market and free world, but how late in life she became a campaigner for social justice. The Angel in the Marketplace illuminates one woman’s journey from advocating traditional notions of women’s place and the benefits of capitalism to questioning the underlying message of the ads she produced.” -- Kathy Peiss, author of Hope in a Jar: The Making of America's Beauty Culture“The Angel in the Marketplace is a deeply researched history of the American advertising industry told through the life of Jean Wade Rindlaub. It is a portrait of a prolific lady and her eye-catching ads that promoted cutlery, makeup, soaps, and cake mixes to Americans. Wayland-Smith captures the synergy between corporate capitalism and Christianity that animated the world of Madison Avenue ad women and men of the twentieth century. This talented writer delivers sharp analysis of consumer culture from colorful stories of ‘copy’ she has excavated from the archives.” -- Michelle Nickerson, author of Mothers of Conservatism: Women and the Postwar RightTable of ContentsIntroduction: Odd Adman Out: Who Was Jean Wade Rindlaub?

    Book SynopsisNation Branding in the Americas: Contested Politics and Identities provides an overview of nation branding in the Americas, an often neglected continent(s) in debates about the creation, dissemination and management of national images.Drawing on insights from promotional cultures, nationalism, geopolitics, media and communication, as well as their own research, the authors look at national promotion experiences in twelve countries - Canada, the United States, Mexico, Costa Rica, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Chile - , examining how these cases relate to broader challenges and commonalities, such as the relationship between nation branding and stereotypes, invisibility, heritage or internal contradictions. Nation Branding in the Americas: Contested Politics and Identities is an important contribution to the study of practices and concepts such as nation branding, public diplomacy, soft power, and strategic communication. It highlights the multifaceted nature of nation branding, and how this can be used to perpetuate local and global hierarchies, legitimize the agendas of specific governments, and discipline the inhabitants of a nation, but also become a venue for people to negotiate and communicate the kind of society they want to be. The book will therefore be of interest for undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students specialized in marketing, media and communication, and international relations. It will also appeal to professionals in public diplomacy, strategic communication, public relations, and branding, offering a broad overview to the practice and discussion of national promotion in an increasingly contested and cacophonic global communication environment.

    1 in stock

    Book SynopsisThe Business of Aspiration is about how consumers' shifting status symbols affect business and brand strategy. These changing status symbols, like taste, aesthetic innovation, curation or environmentalism create the modern aspirational economy.In the traditional economy, consumers signaled their status through collecting commodities, Instagram followers, airline miles, and busy back-to-back schedules. By contrast, in the aspirational economy, consumers increasingly convey status through collecting knowledge, taste, micro-communities, and influence. This new capital changes the way businesses and entire markets operate, and yet the modern aspirational economy is still an under-explored area in business and culture. The Business of Aspiration changes that. In this book, marketers will find examples, analyses and tools on how brands can successfully grow in the modern aspirational economy. The Business of Aspiration answers questions like, what is good for my brand long-term?, how is this business decision going to impact our culture? or what are the main objectives of our growth? Marketers will learn to shift their brand narrative and competitive strategy, to create and distribute new brand symbols, and to ensure that their brandâs products and services create both monetary and social value.Trade Review"What is most inspiring and impressive about Ana’s writing is her ability to uncover such diverse and unique insights from across a wide range of terrain – be it creative, cultural, culinary, digital or fashion.

This book comes at the perfect time, when consumers have heightened awareness of brands’ values and tone deaf moves, and are making the conscious choice to wear brands they’re proud to support. This book acts as the ultimate guide to resetting priorities to be in step with the behavior of modern consumers, who have moved on from flaunting wealth and status to showing they have a conscience. They know that, based on their fashion choices, they could be seen as clueless and shallow or, as Ana says, woke. It’s a difference of wearing a Dolce & Gabbana logo or tagging an outfit of the day with #Gannigirls. Now is the time brands should be cleaning up their processes, checking in on their values and strengthening their community.

Discover how teams collaborate at major agencies to create unforgettable campaigns like the Budweiser ''Clydesdale and Dalmatian'' spots, the ''PEDIGREE'' Adoption Drive'' program, or the breakthrough UPS ''Whiteboard'' campaign.Trade ReviewMargo Berman and Robyn Blakeman's book, The Brains Behind Great Ad Campaigns, is a much-needed one. It's not a guide to developing concepts. It's not a book about copywriting or visual communication. It's not a recipe for success. Nor is it a book about strategy, although all these topics are covered. It's more about the underlying process that results in a great advertising campaign idea. What makes this book special and so helpful for a campaign class is that it covers the right topics, in the right amount, in the right sequence and with crystal-clear examples....The Brains Behind Great Ad Campaigns joins a host of other notable advertising books. What it does better than other is help students understand what it takes to develop better ideas and it sets the stage for other advertising creative how-to books. It is well written and well organized. It is an ideal book for an upper-level undergraduate advertising campaign or capstone course. It would also be relevant for upper-level journalism studies in public relations, Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC), strategic communication or marketing communications. * Journalism Studies *In this didactic look at advertising, including plenty of fun examples from the American ad landscape, academics Berman and Blakeman compile a textbook-ready step-by-step guide to the advertising process. Taking readers through the nuts and bolts of ad creation, the authors are unafraid to start with the basics. . . . As an explication of advertising mechanics, from brainstorming to copywriting to strategizing and media usage, Berman and Blakeman have put together a thorough . . . primer that will familiarize would-be ad professionals with the discipline’s processes and principles. * Publishers Weekly, Web Exclusive Review December 2009 *This is a remarkably comprehensive account of how advertising ideas, strategies, and campaigns come about. -- Edward de Bono, author of Six Thinking HatsThis book gives you a box seat view of the collaborative process needed to create outstanding campaigns including how-tos from some of the industry's superstars. And you'll see it also takes a village to raise an ad. -- Pippa Seichrist, president, Miami Ad SchoolPacked with quotes from leading creatives, The Brains Behind Great Ad Campaigns is an engaging window on the creative process and the current role of research, strategy, and media specialists in big idea generation. The authors provide the real-world insight students need, and for both novices and those familiar with the ad industry, illustrate how agencies are adapting to today’s media environment. -- Janas Sinclair, University of North CarolinaI think this is a much needed book for an Advertising Campaign Capstone class. It provides tangible, insightful, and relevant advice, while numerous examples bring all the material together. -- Craig Davis, Ohio University'A Perfect Marriage:' An invigorating and outstanding book that marries the business side of advertising with the creative development side. It defines the creative process for advertising students, that should be a must-read for all whether on the management or creative track.

Author Jib Fowles argues that consumers look to advertising to provide them with images that can assist them in negotiating the personal dilemmas of advanced industrial life. Advertising and Popular Culture is the first comprehensive text to provide a balanced analysis of advertising and its companion, the popular culture, conveyed through the mass media. Reflecting current theories, this thoughtful critique uses excerpts from advertising campaigns to illustrate how modern advertising both draws from and contributes to popular culture. Fowles traces the role of advertising in our culture from its evolution as part of the culture of mass consumption in the late 19th century, the development of advertising agencies, and the creation of a consumer culture to an exploration of the major themes of American advertising.

    Book SynopsisA lively look at an underexplored niche in the history of American ads: pop-ups. Drawing from Ellen G. K. Rubin’s extensive collection of more than 7,000 pop-up books and related ephemera, Animated Advertising demonstrates how animated and dimensional paper devices have been used throughout US history to promote products, art, entertainment, and ideas. The book displays the creativity of advertisers in food, fashion, tobacco, pharmaceuticals, travel, music, politics, and more. Rubin’s diverse examples of historical paper pop-ups show how they leaped from the pack of standard marketing materials to catch the eye and inform patrons and clientele about the items being sold. Illustrated with two hundred and fifty color images, and published to coincide with a Winter 2023 exhibition at the Grolier Club’s New York headquarters, Animated Advertising is a lively look at an underexplored niche in the history of American marketing, graphic design, and paper engineering.Table of ContentsA Passion for Pop-ups: 40 Years of WOW!IntroductionCATALOG OF THE EXHIBITIONPharmaceuticals and Health CareFood Kellogg’s Brand Cereals Other Cereals Chocolate Other FoodIndustrial Design and InnovationPrinting and PublishingAutomotivePromoting Business Business CardsAlcoholic Beverages and Tobacco Absolut Vodka TobaccoFashion and BeautyClothingBeauty and AccessoriesHolidaysTravelArts, Entertainment, and PoliticsCulture Entertainment Music Sports PoliticsGlossary of Pop-up and Movable Paper Terms
