The ubiquity of technology in modern society has opened new opportunities for businesses to employ marketing strategies. Through digital media, new forms of advertisement creativity can be explored. Narrative Advertising Models and Conceptualization in the Digital Age is a pivotal reference source that features the latest scholarly perspectives on the implementation of narration and storytelling in contemporary advertising. Including a range of topics such as digital games, viral advertising, and interactive media, this book is an ideal publication for business managers, researchers, academics, graduate students, and professionals interested in the enhancement of advertising strategies.

In the modern world of networked digital media, authors must navigate many challenges. Most pressingly, the illegal downloading and streaming of copyright material on the internet deprives authors of royalties, and in some cases it has discouraged creativity or terminated careers. Exploring technology's impact on the status and idea of authorship in today's world, The Near-Death of the Author reveals the many obstacles facing contemporary authors. John Potts details how the online culture of remix and creative reuse operates in a post-authorship mode, with little regard for individual authorship. The book explores how developments in algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) have yielded novels, newspaper articles, musical works, films, and paintings without the need of human authors or artists. It also examines how these AI achievements have provoked questions regarding the authorship of new works, such as Does the author need to be human? And, more alarmingly, Is there even a need for human authors? Providing suggestions on how contemporary authors can endure in the world of data, the book ultimately concludes that network culture has provoked the near-death, but not the death, of the author.

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.

Highlights the trailers, merchandising and cultural conversations that shape our experiences of film and television It is virtually impossible to watch a movie or TV show without preconceived notions because of the hype that precedes them, while a host of media extensions guarantees them a life long past their air dates. An onslaught of information from print media, trailers, internet discussion, merchandising, podcasts, and guerilla marketing, we generally know something about upcoming movies and TV shows well before they are even released or aired. The extras, or "paratexts," that surround viewing experiences are far from peripheral, shaping our understanding of them and informing our decisions about what to watch or not watch and even how to watch before we even sit down for a show. Show Sold Separately gives critical attention to this ubiquitous but often overlooked phenomenon, examining paratexts like DVD bonus materials for The Lord of the Rings, spoilers for Lost, the opening credits of The Simpsons, Star Wars actions figures, press reviews for Friday Night Lights, the framing of Batman Begins, the videogame of The Thing, and the trailers for The Sweet Hereafter. Plucking these extra materials from the wings and giving them the spotlight they deserve, Jonathan Gray examines the world of film and television that exists before and after the show.
