An accessible and well-written approach to advertising. Advertising tracks the changes in today's dynamic world of media and marketing communication-as well as the implications of these changes to traditional practice-and presents them to readers through an accessible, well-written approach. The ninth edition highlights the increasing importance of consumers as the driving force in today's advertising strategies, social media, and the Internet evolution/revolution. It also includes an increased IMC and brand focus.
I don’t ever expect a text book to be a stimulating read, but this one was incredibly boring and dry. It was far too wordy, which made it too long, which resulted in a lot of time wasted reading a bunch of unnecessary filler. This book could have been half the length and still included all relevant information. If teaching an advertising course, I’d highly advise finding a different source.
