Download or read book Strategic Creativity in Marketing Communications written by Gulnara Karimova Ph D. and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It is very heartening to see Gulnara Karimova's scholarly work on the application of Bakhtinian theory in understanding the marketing communication process being put to intriguing practical use in this new handbook of creative strategies. " Chris Miles, PhD Lecturer in Marketing and Communication School of Business and Management Queen Mary, University of London ---------------------------------------------------------------- In this book, Dr.Gulnara Z. Karimova concentrates on current pressing issues within the theory of interactive advertising. Such problems as defining interactivity and measuring levels of interactivity have recently attracted great interest among researchers. In spite of previous research attempts to address these issues, the field of interactive advertising has not progressed much beyond its preliminary phase. This book is an attempt to further the literature in the filed by applying Bakhtinian concepts of 'dialogic relationships, ' 'polyphony, ' 'carnival, ' and the idea of the 'chronotope' to advertising research and analysis. This research translates into English, for the first time, many of Mikhail Bakhtin's theoretical and philosophical insights. As such this book provides insights into Bakhtinian philosophy and reveals new perspectives and contradictions within well-known Bakhtinian concepts. The book contains original material from the correspondence between Bakhtin and his follower Vladimir Turbin, a popular professor of Russian literature at Moscow, that has never previously been translated to English. Using an innovative approach, this study shows how Bakhtinian concepts can be applied to fields other than literary theory. The Empedocles: European Journal for the Philosophy of Communication notes that Karimova's book Bakhtin and Interactive Advertising: "makes a valuable contribution to the study of interactivity by executing a rigorous and thought-provoking conceptual analysis that problematizes the way in which interactivity, as practice, has been stripped of its dialogical and communicative features by key theoreticians in the field." Dr.Karimova discusses two problems related to the theory of interactive advertising: how interactivity can be defined and how it can be measured. For this purpose, the book uses Bakhtinian concepts as well as other theories and ideas, such as Gérard Genette's typology, Kristeva's notion of intertextuality, Chris Miles' model for advertising communication, and cybernetics. The work will be of immense interest to communications, marketing, and advertising researchers, and specialists involved in interactive advertising, the theory of interactivity, and Bakhtinian philosophy and practice.

Download or read book Leap written by Bob Schmetterer and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2003-03-10 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traditionally, company leaders develop a business strategy based on bottom lines and profit margins, then hire an ad agency to back up that strategy with creative advertising. But history shows that some of the most effective branding campaigns are born when companies work with ad agencies to develop a business strategy that has a big, creative idea at its heart-what CEO of Euro RSCG Bob Schmetterer calls the Creative Business Idea. In Leap, Bob Schmetterer shows advertisers how to combine advertising creativity and bottom-line realities to develop winning business strategies and winning ad campaigns. He analyzes some of the most creative business ideas in history, showing how successful advertising and marketing strategies do more than simply communicate the brand-they define it. Advertisers know how to create demand for an existing brand, but Schmetterer argues that the next challenge for advertisers is to help their clients apply creative thinking to their core business strategy before they launch a branding blitz. Leap is about connecting the left brain and the right brain to develop solid business strategies that are also creative, fresh, and exciting. It's about mixing business's cold fixation on numbers with the warm heart of art and creativity to build revolutionary brands. It's about connecting with and listening to the client, understanding the business and the product, tapping into the client's passion for the product, and transmitting that passion to the consumer. It's about what happens when the business makes creativity part of its core strategy-enabling it to move beyond self-imposed boundaries and expand the limits of its reach. With a wealth of examples from Volvo to Purdue, Schmetterer shows ad agencies and managers how to help their clients develop the big, creative idea that will transform their businesses-and perhaps their industries. It's time for companies to make the Leap that synthesizes business and creativity to reap the full rewards of profitable innovation. BOB SCHMETTERER is Chairman and CEO of Euro RSCG Worldwide, a one of the world's top five global advertising and communications agencies with clients such as Intel, Peugeot, Air France, Orange, Abby National, MCI, Danone Group, Reckitt Benckiser, Volvo, and Yahoo!
