Ideas don't just happen, they don't spring from nowhere. Ideas come to life from everything that's already inside our brains. Because new ideas are actually a new reaction between existing ideas. This means creativity is about finding ways to put unrelated, disconnected things together. When two unrelated things come together, something new springs into existence, they form a third thing, and that becomes a new idea. That's Crossover Creativity. The more you read, watch, observe and consume, the more fuel for ideas you have in your brain, the more crossover creativity will happen for you. In this latest collection of stories about creativity in real-life situations, Dave Trott presents examples of crossover creativity in action - as a guide for those who have to generate ideas in advertising, business, sport, or anywhere in the wider world.

The television sponsor has become semi-mythical. He is remote and
unseen, but omnipresent. Dramas, football games, and press
conferences pause for a "word" from him. He "makes possible"
concerts and public affairs broadcasts. His "underwriting grants"
brings the viewer music festivals and classic films. Interviews
with visiting statesmen are interrupted for him, to continue "in a
moment."

The chapters provide a wide-ranging view of issues addressing how
advertisers can proceed on the Internet and World Wide Web. An
initial chapter traces the development of Web advertising from its
very beginnings as it was represented and discussed in the pages of
"Advertising Age." Although there is a noticeable trend to define
Web advertising by comparing it to traditional media, it is clear
that Web advertising just won't fit the old mold. Keith Reinhard of
DDB Needham actually articulates this linkage between the old and
new in his invited chapter.
With the consumerist euphoria of the fifties still going strong and the race to the moon at its height, the mood of advertising in the sixties was cheerful, optimistic, and at times, revolutionary. The decade's ads touted perceived progress-such as tang and instant omelets - "just add water"-while striving to reinforce good old American values. Stars like Sean Connery, Woody Allen, Salvador Dali, and Sammy Davis Jr. endorsed everything from bourbon to handmade suits in an attempt by Madison Avenue to urge Americans to open their wallets and participate in one giant consumer binge. Social change at the end of the era brought psychedelic swirls and liberated women and minorities to a newly conscious public. Keep an eye out for some of the more surprising and controversial ads-such as Tupperware billing its storage container as a "wifesaver." From forgotten cars, to cigarettes to food and much more, this colorful collection of print ads explores the wide, wonderful world of 60s Americana.
The US Hispanic segment represents the most prominent demographic growth in the country, and a huge and untapped business opportunity for companies willing to move away from preconceived notions and market effectively to Hispanic customers. This book shows you how. Now more than ever, corporations operating in the US should see the Hispanic population at the core of their existing and future strategies, but many leaders believe Hispanic marketing is the same marketing you run for Anglos but translated into Spanish, or that all Hispanics are undocumented immigrants with no purchasing power, or that using Mariachis in their communications is the way to connect with this diverse segment. It's time for a modern approach, and in this book, Isaac Mizrahi, one of the country's leading voices in multicultural marketing, uses his unique experience as a corporate executive, agency CEO, and industry leader to help businesses grow by leveraging the booming Hispanic consumer segment to drive sales. Filled with straightforward talk, illustrative case studies, and pragmatic suggestions and recommendations, this book counterbalances academic books on the topic with little connection to day-to-day reality and other books with a more political standpoint. This is a business book created by a marketer for other marketers and business leaders looking to succeed in the US.

Charities operate within an increasingly challenging environment, with competition for public engagement, funding and volunteers intensifying. High-profile scandals have knocked public trust and the recent Covid-19 pandemic has illustrated how important it is for charities to provide support in times of need and fill the gap left by inadequate public sector provision.

The approach of the book contributes to the growing phenomenon of Theory + Practice in Marketing (TPM) presenting different perspectives and theoretical lenses to stimulate debate and future research. Charity Marketing provides a bridge between the practice of contemporary nonprofit organisations, charity marketing and recent academic insight into the charity sector. Using exemplar case studies of nonprofit and charity brands, this edited volume will be of direct interest to students, academics, marketing practitioners and researchers studying and working in charities, public and nonprofit management, and marketing.
