Advertising, just like medicine and engineering, is a universal discipline of study, providing insight into understanding the business process anywhere in the world. Ideally, due to its universal nature, that is how advertising should be taught. For decades, marketers and advertisers have amassed an array of strategies, tactics, and principles that, it is claimed, can be applied to any particular advertising campaign. In today s technological world, the challenge is to apply that knowledge to the discipline of online advertising, the assumption being that there is no need to claim any special status for a specific marketing effort such as sports, electronics, or clothing. Online Advertising and Promotion: Modern Technologies for Marketing educates executives and students on how to meet online advertising and Internet marketing challenges for both present and future tactics. The book will outline the changes and challenges that have impacted how online advertising decisions are being made and how decision-makers are getting their information in an online world.

Communication is of vital importance for everyone. It is omnipresent and exerts enormous influence on the way we think and act - from interpersonal relationships to consumer behavior. Marketing comes into play whenever something is to be sold. It lays out the course of action, determines the goals, and develops the strategies by which these goals can be attained as quickly and effectively as possible.

In Communicational Marketing, Luigi Carlo De Micco combines both of these factors. Like other marketing approaches, communicational marketing is concerned with the advertising and selling of products and services. But unlike conventional advertising methods, the starting point for communicational marketing is not the individual psyche but rather the inter-communicational processes that have a lasting effect on the behavior of those involved.

De Micco explains the role played by communication in modern marketing and the mechanisms that have to be taken into account. He shows the reasons for the failure of marketing ideas by analyzing the paradoxes in well-known advertising approaches, and provides the reader with communication-oriented marketing strategies.

Communicational marketing presupposes a competent, self-directed buyer who categorically rejects suggestion and who is able to recognize manipulation whenever he or she is exposed to it.

Visual Branding pulls together analyses of logos, typeface, color, and spokes-characters to give a comprehensive account of the visual devices used in branding and advertising. The book places each avenue for visual branding within a rhetorical framework that explains what that device can accomplish for the brand. It lays out the available possibilities for constructing logos and distinguishes basic types along with examples of their use and evolution over time. Authors Edward McQuarrie and Barbara Phillips place visual branding within its historical context, covering the 120-year period since brand advertising first took modern form in the United States. Using copious real-life examples to illustrate how branding has evolved with the introduction of new technologies and opportunities, the book also critiques purely psychological perspectives on branding and explains how historical and rhetorical analyses can contribute new insights. This exploration of rhetoric as an alternative to economic and psychological perspectives in marketing, advertising, and consumer scholarship will be essential reading for students and scholars in graduate programs in marketing, advertising, and consumer psychology.

This book presents a comprehensive account of the use and effects of foreign languages in advertising. Based on consumer culture positioning strategies in marketing, three language strategies are presented: foreign language display to express foreignness, English to highlight globalness, and local language to appeal to ethnicity (for instance, Spanish for Hispanics in the USA). The book takes a multidisciplinary approach, integrating insights from both marketing and linguistics, presenting both theoretical perspectives (e.g., Communication Accommodation Theory, Conceptual Feature Model, Country-of-origin effect, Markedness Model, Revised Hierarchical Model) and empirical evidence from content analyses and experimental studies. The authors demonstrate that three concepts are key to understanding foreign languages in advertising: language attitudes, language-product congruence, and comprehension. The book will appeal to students and researchers in the fields of sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, psycholinguistics, marketing and advertising.
