Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adman’s Dilemma is a cultural biography that explores the rise and fall of the advertising man as a figure who became effectively a licensed deceiver in the process of governing the lives of American consumers. Apparently this personage was caught up in a contradiction, both compelled to deceive yet supposed to tell the truth. It was this moral condition and its consequences that made the adman so interesting to critics, novelists, and eventually filmmakers. The biography tracks his saga from its origins in the exaggerated doings of P.T. Barnum, the emergence of a new profession in the 1920s, the heyday of the adman’s influence during the post-WW2 era, the later rebranding of the adman as artist, until the apparent demise of the figure, symbolized by the triumph of that consummate huckster, Donald Trump. In The Adman’s Dilemma, author Paul Rutherford explores how people inside and outside the advertising industry have understood the conflict between artifice and authenticity. The book employs a range of fictional and nonfictional sources, including memoirs, novels, movies, TV shows, websites, and museum exhibits to suggest how the adman embodied some of the strange realities of modernity.

Download or read book The Education of an Adman written by Bob Burriesci and published by Strategic Book Publishing & Rights Agency. This book was released on 2014-07-09 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Education of an Adman provides industry insights by including about 50 anecdotes spanning a period of 35 years of the author?s career as an account executive with New York advertising agencies. It is a true story of the quirky, unconventional nature of all aspects of the business, from strategic planning, research, creative, media planning and buying, to production and legal aspects of the job. Spanning the period 1969 to 2003, the book includes a myriad of characters, some of whom were among the greats and some who weren?t so good. It evaluates fellow workers for their idiosyncratic, ?strange,? and sometimes shameful behavior. It brings credence to the adage ?expect the unexpected,? and emphasizes the need to ?figure it out for yourself.? There is a saying that if you give someone a fish, that person has a meal. But if you teach someone how to fish, that person has meals for a lifetime. ?I feel this way about teaching, says Bob Burriesci. ?We give students the tools with which to make a living for their lifetimes.? In a constantly changing and evolving world, these tools are most often about developing the critical thinking process of problem solving. The author adds, ?By showing just how unpredictable and erratic the business can be, I hope to give students a basis for the realization that if they acquire these tools, they?ll be ready to make a living for a lifetime.?

Download or read book The First Adman written by Gary Hicks and published by Victorian Secrets. This book was released on 2012 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The First Adman reveals the untold story of how modern advertising was pioneered 200 years ago by the entrepreneur, self-publicist and dodgy Member of Parliament, Thomas Bish. Royalty and politicians courted this early media star and society figure, who was one of the best-known men in the land and allegedly more famous than the prime minister himself. Drawing on previously inaccessible contemporary sources, Gary Hicks resurrects the Bish brand, as famous in its day as Coca-Cola is today, and explains how it started a publicity revolution. This is an entertaining and rollicking tale of an eccentric marketing genius whose extraordinary legacy survives in modern mass media.

Book excerpt: David Fincher: Mind Games is the definitive critical and visual survey of the Academy Award– and Golden Globe–nominated works of director David Fincher. From feature films Alien 3, Se7en, The Game, Fight Club, Panic Room, Zodiac, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, The Social Network, The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo, Gone Girl, and Mank through his MTV clips for Madonna and the Rolling Stones and the Netflix series House of Cards and Mindhunter, each chapter weaves production history with original critical analysis, as well as with behind the scenes photography, still-frames, and original illustrations from Little White Lies' international team of artists and graphic designers. Mind Games also features interviews with Fincher's frequent collaborators, including Jeff Cronenweth, Angus Wall, Laray Mayfield, Holt McCallany, Howard Shore and Erik Messerschmidt. Grouping Fincher's work around themes of procedure, imprisonment, paranoia, prestige and relationship dynamics, Mind Games is styled as an investigation into a filmmaker obsessed with investigation, and the design will shift to echo case files within a larger psychological profile.

Book excerpt: "It is certainly interesting to draw up recommendations as to how the advertising industry should abandon its current role in favor of a socially useful one." Dr. Noam Chomsky "A thoroughly captivating look into marketing, the history, the tools, strategic frameworks and the changes that are happening to the industry, along with insightful recommendations on how to move forward. Peppered with delightful anecdotes, psychological insight and case studies, this is a MUST-READ book to anyone interested in Marketing. It is the art of how 60 seconds can still transform a business and society." Muna AbuSulayman, International development expert and a prominent media personality "We are in an industry that lost its way. An industry that is exchanging the power of affecting culture, for short-term profits. Ahmad, in his book, reminds us of the intellectual prowess the ad industry once enjoyed. In the process, he's debating the most intellectual human alive!" George Maktabi, Group CEO, Webedia Arabia "At a time when the advertising industry is questioning its own meaning, role, and purpose, "Adman" calls for authentic, constructive self-reflection instead of fruitless navel-gazing. In simple, personal yet powerful terms, Ahmad Abu Zannad takes a stand, deconstructing clichés and confronting harsh truths to proudly reclaim advertising's unique place in the world." Nathalie Bontems, Former GM and head of editorial publishing, MediaQuest "Yes, the average person is being exposed to 6,000-10,000 ads per day... Now, imagine living in world full of ads made by individuals with less talent and less integrity, well, this is where the industry is heading, unless the advice in this book is pursued ... What an insightful read and what an inspiring effort!" Samer Shoueiry, Chief digital officer, Publicis Communications

Download or read book Advertising and Consumption written by Everardo Rocha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book argues for the study of consumption and its relationship with media images, particularly advertising, from a cultural perspective. Focused on Brazil, it draws on decades of research by the author and engages with theory and concepts from a range of classic anthropological works. The chapters examine how advertising professionals view their craft, the resistance to capitalism amongst native Brazilians, images of women and their bodies in magazines, and the case of the first soccer player to become a national media celebrity. Rocha supports the study of consumption as a classification system that materializes culture and creates relations between people and goods. The book presents advertising as a mode of magical thinking that mediates the passage from the machine-driven sphere of production to the humanized sphere of consumption, converting meaningless impersonal things into goods that have name, origin, identity and purpose. It will be of interest to anthropologists, sociologists and others working on advertising, marketing, communications, and consumer research.
