Most advertising textbooks are written by academic professionals and grounded in the research they have undertaken. This new textbook is written by two advertising practitioners and focuses on the process of advertising. Of course, academic research is important and is included in this book. However, research alone doesn’t provide students with a usable construct when they enter the workforce. In addition, a research-focused book limits students’ opportunity to apply what they’re learning to current situations. As a result, the students can spend their first year or two in the workforce struggling to match theory with application. Since this textbook is authored by two industry practitioners, each with 30+ years in the business, it helps deliver strong, entry-level talent to the profession.
Principles of Advertising and Integrated Marketing Communication includes chapters structured to follow the strategy and production processes that drive the advertising agency business. Students are introduced to key research approaches, theories of communication, motivation, and brand retention. They are also introduced to necessities like marketing automation and the technology that underpin the advertising world. Content and assignments highlight practical applications along with academic concepts, so students will have a better understanding of the business of advertising and how it works.
This publication provides students with an interactive learning environment, studded with contemporary campaign examples. Readings and lectures are augmented by elements such as videos with current industry executives, interactive quizzes, and activities to bring academic concepts to life. In-class activities include role-playing components, so students can experience the role of both client and agency throughout the semester.
Each chapter features videos with executives addressing how they implement concepts from the text in their real-world campaigns. Students will hear from the CMO of the Detroit Tigers and the Chevrolet Marketing Manager. This publication includes instructor materials such as PowerPoints and test banks for every chapter.
