Great price for a textbook, although they are rediculously overpriced to begin with. Very fast delivery. Cover (front and back) slightly warped, but serves the purpose.

Exceptionally real-world in focus—with examples, issues, and applications interlaced throughout—this best-selling introduction to both the theory and practice of advertising provides important insights into how advertising is done, who does it, and the critical questions that must be resolved. It provides a focus on what principles and practices make advertising effective—and the volume's rich and extensive support package make the teaching/learning process not only exciting, but more effective as well. The volume examines advertising foundations, environment, background, planning, and strategy, advertising media, creating advertising and marketing communication elements. For those interested in effective advertising.

Hey Sullivan 2 out of 5 stars.
2 of 8 people found this review helpful.

After more than 45 years in the agency business I feel very qualified to say "Sullivan, you are full of crap, an idiot, stupid and brilliant." You pick the order.

I have read way more than my share of advertising books and management books and this one is a tough slog through one man's opinion about a complex process.

What you don't understand about smart research is legion. What you espouse about agency life proves you have no idea what the real world of advertising is like. You have a lovely and accurate view of the myopics for New York agencies and clients and processes and even though you now call Austin home you have never really worked in the world of small agencies, smaller clients. And it shows.

Of course that doesn't make you a bad guy or some of your opinions to silly to count - after all I did say your were at times brilliant - but it does mean you need to warn the unwary. Naive readers might actually think you know what you are talking about on all subjects!

Burke proved if you put the advertisers name in the first few seconds of a commercial it has a better chance of being remembered than if you wait until the end. Should every ad the start with a logo .. of course not but have a good reason for not doing it. You don't say that.

Account Planning is NOT an advertising tool it is a advertising agency management tool. Shame on you for not knowing that and discussing it.

Qualitative research can lead the way .. if .. it is conducted by smart people and not pure researchers. You don't say that.

I judge numerous AD Shows every year and while a ton of your examples are great most of your own work doesn't cut it.

Sorry Sully. You book was a disappointment to me.

Basic info quickly growing outdated 3 out of 5 stars.
7 of 7 people found this review helpful.

This is a helpful book for navigating the waves of social networking. It's a quick read, with useful links and helpful tactics for the non-geek to leverage the web in marketing their business.

Unfortunately, any book of this sort quickly becomes outdated - social technologies ebb and flow that quickly. A *huge* portion of the book is dedicated to MySpace, for example. One tiny paragraph is devoted to Facebook. As I am a FB user and don't bother with MySpace, that means several of this book's chapters are useless for me.

LinkedIn, Flickr, uTube and all other big networking sites also rate a tiny blurb, no more. Twitter isn't even mentioned! This is a 2007 book and already out of date.

Useful chapters include setting up your website, starting to blog, and hooking your brand into the blogosphere. A few pages cover developing your blog content over the long haul. Using Technorati, Digg and Del.icio.us is touched upon.

I found the passage on building a guest column interesting. The viral video/podcasting chapter has decent, albeit bare bones, basics. I also appreciated the nuggets on using Amazon, analyzing traffic stats and monitizing your site.

Overall, anyone already familiar with the basics of MySpace, tagging, developing a blog, using Amazon's review system, setting up RSS and so on won't learn much from this slim volume. On the other hand, this book offers an easy introduction to web 2.0 marketing that social network newbies won't find intimidating.

Editorial Review:

Praise for The Online Advertising Playbook

"Finally, someone has documented all we know about online advertising and how to do it right. As much as this confirms that online advertising really works, we know that marketers don't always get it right. The ARF's The Online Advertising Playbook provides critical insight on what sticks and what doesn't in online advertising and marketing."
—Greg Stuart, CEO and President, Interactive Advertising Bureau and coauthor of What Sticks

"The Online Advertising Playbook's principles, case studies, and strategic insights equip marketers with the best knowledge available. It will help your online advertising achieve the full range of marketing objectives, from lead generation and customer acquisition to driving trial and loyalty."
—Tim Kopp, Vice President, Global Interactive Marketing, The Coca-Cola Company

"To grow interactive marketing from here we need to institutionalize our wisdom and experience about what works. This book explains, in a disciplined way, what marketers have learned from a decade of massive change."
—Ted McConnell, Interactive Innovation Director, Procter & Gamble

"The Online Advertising Playbook is a milestone in the maturation of interactive advertising, but also an invaluable go-to guide for managers trying to make smart decisions with their advertising budgets."
—Van Riley, Vice President of Research, AOL

"The best marketing communication is spawned from what I call 'informed intuition.' After reading The Online Advertising Playbook, I am far better informed on how to optimize the online channel in our advertising and promotional programs. It's a perfect blend of case studies and research-backed learning."
—Rod DeVar, Manager, Advertising and Promotion, United States Postal Service

"Savvy marketers should take advantage of The Online Advertising Playbook's findings and principles to get real results."
—Chris Theodoros, Director of Industry Relations, Google

"A work of wisdom and rigor in the digital space that is as relevant for the newbie as it is for the digerati."
—Mike Donahue, Executive Vice President, American Association of Advertising Agencies

"This is a must-read for any marketing executive involved in online advertising. It's high time that a book looks at online advertising in the context of an integrative promotional strategy, one meant to set objectives, establish creative strategies, and measure results. The book nicely ties the various components of online advertising to relevant case studies, and the emphasis on measurement and results is refreshing. Not only is it relevant for marketing executives, it would also be a good basic text for any Internet advertising course and a good adjunct to any Internet marketing course."
—Henry Assael, Professor of Marketing, Stern School of Business, New York University

Attracting Perfect Customers: The Power of Strategic Synchronicity 4 out of 5 stars.
7 of 8 people found this review helpful.

This book was recommended by my business coach but, I apply it to every relationship in my life! The law of attraction and strategic synchronicity are helpful to stay focused on what it is that you REALLY want. We can choose to be the 'lighthouse' and the 'perfect customer' will find us.

Editorial Review:

Attracting Perfect Customers leads readers through a transformation as they learn that it is no longer productive or profitable to conduct business using warlike marketing techniques such as "targeting" customers and "outmaneuvering" the competition. In fact, these techniques seem both outdated and labor-intensive when compared to the Strategic Synchronicity process, which requires just five minutes of planning each day.

Strategic Synchronicity is based on nine principles that are not new but are often neglected in today's business world. Among them are the ideas that businesses don't need to search for customers if they are "on purpose"; that collaboration, not competition, is required; and that businesses create their own "clients from hell".

Editorial Review:

Sellout "Brand" or just plain "Bland"? In Lovemarks, advertising giant Saatchi & Saatchi CEO Kevin Roberts delves deep into what mysteries lie behind the long-term success and unwavering customer loyalty for a can of Coke or a pair of Levi's, ultimately concluding that Love is the answer, and without some emotional connection to a product, it will dry up like a generic raisin in the sun. Enter Lovemarks, the new marketing buzzword, which will likely be bandied about at board meetings as vigorously as The Tipping Point.

But before Roberts can get to what in fact a Lovemark means in the worlds of advertising and marketing, he takes us on a virtual tour of his CV. There was his first post at Mary Quant in London, then the gig as New Products Manager of Gillette International in the Middle East, on to CEO of Pepsi in Canada, and later the same role at Lion Nathan in New Zealand. The list goes on, and so does Roberts--on and on--about his achievements and experience building brand awareness and shaking things up (he famously machine-gunned a vending machine at a presentation for a spot on the evening news). More importantly, he succeeds at blasting away the smoke and mirrors that might prevent a creative genius (or an ordinary consumer) from seeing what makes Superman the most beloved super-hero of all time.

Despite the somewhat egocentric approach to taking us there (he is, after-all, a pretty smart guy), we arrive at Roberts's point beautifully, and see what he sees: "That human attention has become our principle currency." And that, in these times, forming long-term emotionally charged relationships with customers is the only way to make a product weather the long haul. And while Roberts speaks to us in a spirited, conversational manner (that makes Lovemarks a pleasure to read), the design of the book seems to work against him, as convoluted typography and a general lack of layout consistency give the book a visually amateurish look. --Christene Barberich

Good book, some dated examples, frequent missing CD 3 out of 5 stars.
9 of 9 people found this review helpful.

I have enjoyed this book. In most cases I can skim the sections I know, skipping examples, and do well on the tests so it is very well structured. There are lots of excellent examples flushing out contents for the total newbie. A lot of thought went into the projects and case studies. If you are looking for a good overview of markting concepts and have a solid instructor to lead discussions about them, this is a great textbook.

That's the good.

The bad is that a number of examples are quite dated. For example, the book claims that Nintendo owns something like 82% of the video game market. How many years ago was this written and how would Sony and Mircrosoft respond? Intel's partnership with Gateway is mentioned in co-branding whereas the modern example would be Dell. Intel actually pays for 2/3 of Dell's advertising as part of the Intel Inside promotion.

Furthermore, the book makes no mention of Account Planning, and increasingly important field in advertising. One would think we still lived in 1992 when the Account Executive was asked to handle all strategic decicisions.

The book needs an overhaul in these ways but the essence is still very solid.
[...]
If you need to buy this textbook, buy it early, and make sure you get the CD. If you don't, send it back.

Editorial Review:

This volume takes a broader approach than Advertising or Promotions surveys and gives readers an integrated learning experience by incorporating Internet exercises and a Building an IMC Campaign project, with free Advertising Plan Pro software in every copy.

The volume addresses integrated marketing communications, corporate image and brand management, consumer buyer behavior, business-to-business buyer behavior, promotions opportunity analysis, advertising management, advertising design, both theoretical and executional frameworks, IMC promotional tools and integration tools.

For marketing professionals and ad agency account executives.
