Advertising has permeated our popular culture as much as any other aspect of the media. This comprehensive text provides a balanced analysis of advertising - as a business practice and as a creator of symbolic environments. The critique reflects current theories on advertising by illustrating how it both draws from and contributes to popular culture, and uses specific excerpts from advertising campaigns to illustrate this point. The book traces the role of advertising in our culture from its evolution as part of the culture of mass consumption in the late 19th century, the development of advertising agencies and the creation of a consumer culture to an exploration of the major themes of American advertising. The author also provides a critical examination of the role of advertising in our culture today.
The study of advertising is a heated and expansive forum, with research diverging along methodological, semantic and often political lines. This eclectic, extensive and inclusive collection draws together the diverse literature with a view to organising and making sense of the state of play of advertising research, with papers drawn not only from the major international advertising journals, but also widely across the social sciences. Accommodating statistical, behavioural and interpretive perspectives, this three-volume set is organized into three broad categories. Volume One looks at advertising management, including creativity, agencyient relations, campaign planning and effectiveness, media planning and brand communications. Volume Two looks at the cultural influence of advertising, including its ideological character, theoretical influences, and cross-cultural aspects. Volume Three looks at advertising science: the experimental and survey data-gathering methods involved in measuring advertising effectiveness.
