    Book Synopsis Is your company a storyteller—or a storydoer?The old way to market a business was storytelling. But in today’s world, simply communicating your brand’s story in the hope that customers will listen is no longer enough. Instead, your authentic brand must be evident in every action the organization undertakes.Today’s most successful businesses are storydoers.These companies create products and services that, from the very beginning, are manifestations of an authentic and meaningful story—one told primarily through action, not advertising. In True Story, creative executive Ty Montague argues that any business, regardless of size or industry, can embrace the principles of storydoing. Indeed, our best-run companies—from small start-ups to global conglomerates—organize around a coherent narrative that is then broadcast through every action they take (from product design to customer service to marketTrade Review"Montague gets right to the chink in the armor of storytelling: Unless the story you tell about your company is true, it is just empty words. And the way you make a story true, he says, is by "storydoing." Storydoing is telling a story through your actions." -- strategy+business magazine "An original take on using story to convey your brand promises, True Story will provide you with the answer." -- 800 CEO READ ADVANCE PRAISE for True Story: Brad Jakeman, President, Global Beverages Group, PepsiCo, Inc.-- "Gone are the days when marketers can simply tell people what a brand stands for. More than ever, consumers demand authenticity and transparency. True Story is an insightful and compelling review of what it takes to build brands and businesses today." Roo Rogers, Partner, Fuse Project; coauthor, What's Mine Is Yours-- "Who better to write about the power of story than Ty Montague? As relevant to CEOs as it is to CMOs, True Story leads the reader step by step through the process of combining product and narrative into one meaningful and unforgettable consumer experience." Danielle Tiedt, CMO, YouTube-- "In an age where just communicating your brand isn't enough, Ty Montague has given businesses a way to think about brand building from the bottom up. True Story outlines a four-step process to discover your company's unique story and then explains how to fold that story into every action you take. An essential guide for any company looking to grow its business." Peter Sachse, Chief Stores Officer, Macy's-- "The power of 'storydoing' shouldn't be underestimated. If you consistently define your brand through action, your brand will take vivid shape in every consumer's mind. Ty Montague has done a great job creating a path that any company can use to reach its goals." David Webster, General Manager, Marketing Strategy, Microsoft Corporation-- "Unlike so many books that simply collect case studies that you can't apply to your own situation, Ty Montague's book provides a blueprint and a road map for putting these insights into action. The power to uncover your own brand narrative--and live it--is in your hands right now."

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

Burtenshaw, Mahon and Barfoot explore the role of the creative team (comprising art director and copywriter) and examine the ways in which these teams generate ideas and the techniques they utilize. This second edition reflects the changes that have taken place within the advertising industry over recent years and, in particular, the growth of digital media and integrated advertising campaigns. Interviews with leading practitioners, exercises and checklists combine to provide an up-to-date overview of the industry, and to encourage a practical application of the creative ideas explored within the book.Trade ReviewA useful overview of the advertising process from brief to realisation with lots of excellent examples.

    Book SynopsisAmericans in recent years have become thoroughly disenchanted with our political campaigns, especially with campaign advertising and speeches. Each year, as November approaches, we are bombarded with visceral appeals that bypass substance, that drape candidates in the American flag but tell us nothing about what they''ll do if elected, that flood us with images of PT-109 or Willie Horton, while significant issues--such as Kennedy''s Addison''s Disease or the looming S&L catastrophe--are left unexamined. And the press--the supposed safeguard of democracy--focuses on campaign strategy over campaign substance, leaving us to decide where the truth lies. In Dirty Politics, campaign analyst Kathleen Hall Jamieson provides an eye-opening look at political ads and speeches, showing us how to read, listen to, and watch political campaigns. Jamieson provides a sophisticated (and often humorous) analysis of advertising technique, describing how television ads use soft focus, slow motion, lyricalTrade ReviewIf you read this book--and you should--you will never again listen to a news broadcast or read a newspaper in the same way ... Reading Dirty Politics leave one with the troubling conviction that our democracy is threatened by the failure to provide voters with the information they need to make meaningful use of the right to vote ...

    Book SynopsisIn a globalized world full of noise, brands are constantly launching messages through different channels. For the last two decades, brands, marketers, and creatives have faced the difficult task of reaching those individuals who do not want to watch or listen to what they are trying to tell them. By producing fewer ads or making them louder or more striking, more brands and communications professionals are not going to get those people to pay more attention to their messages; they will only want to avoid advertising in all media. Examining the Future of Advertising and Brands in the New Entertainment Landscape provides a theoretical, reflective, and empirical perspective on branded content and branded entertainment in relation to audience engagement. It reviews different cases about branded content to address the dramatic change that brands and conventional advertising are facing short term. Covering topics such as branded content measurement tools, digital entertainment culture, and government storytelling, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for marketers, advertising agencies, brand managers, business leaders and managers, communications professionals, government officials, non-profit organizations, students and educators of higher education, academic libraries, researchers, and academicians.

  • Paris 1900

    University of Toronto Press Paris 1900

    Book SynopsisThe novelist Paul Morand described the Exposition of 1900 in Paris: … a new and ephemeral city hidden in the centre of the other, a whole quarter of Paris in fancy dress, a ball, where the buildings were the masqueraders. To our childish eyes it was a marvel, a coloured picture book, a save filled by strangers with treatures. Masked in this swirl of colour and noise was an event for the political, scholarly, literary, and financial elite of all nations, an occasion for demonstrating the many preoccupations of the intellectuals of the age. Like all the World's Fairs of the nineteenth century, this was an opportunity for the awarding of excellence: the awards or lack of them could make or break an artist, craftsman, or inventor who offered his skills for judgment by the international juries; it was the arena where careers were launched or ended, fortunes made or destroyed, reputations of great firms established or ruined. And in one major respect the Paris World's
