This is the nearly all-new fifth edition of Luke Sullivan's classic guide to advertising. With assistance from ad veteran and digital expert Edward Boches, this edition is updated to thoroughly cover and explore the new age of advertising. As the authoritative book on advertising in both digital and traditional media, it includes examples, best practices, and how-to advice on everything from social media to mobile, TV, experiential advertising, as well as traditional print media. Part how-to and part exposé, Hey Whipple, Squeeze This is the insider's guide to coming up with great ideas as well as an unapologetic send-up of all that's heavy-handed, dim-witted, and ineffectual in the industry.
