Intended for those who are considering to become an advertising creative, this book explains the skills that you need to make it as an advertising creative above and beyond the ability to write good adverts, and demonstrates: how to get the best out of the people you work with; how to present your work to clients; and, how to manage your career.
A chronicle of the key ideas that have shaped the adverts we see everyday, 100 Ideas That Changed Advertising offers a fascinating insight into an ever-changing and fast-moving business.Arranged broadly chronologically, the book looks at the overnight revolutions, the flashes of inspiration, and the long-term evolutions that have shaped the industry. Author Simon Veksner guides us through the key ideas behind these changes, from the development of the first advertising formats and the history of branding, to the creative revolutions of the 1960s and the digital age. Looking forward, the book considers the most recent thinking in reaching new audiences, including the rise of neuromarketing and the latest behavioural economics.Illustrated with hundreds of examples of adverts and explaining their power to grab our attention, the book is an absorbing guide to a turbulent industry.
