  • The Boy From Block 66: A WW2 Jewish Holocaust Survival True Story (Heroic Children of World War II)

    08
    He has endured more than any child ever should, but now he must survive Block 66.

    January, 1945. 14-year-old Moshe Kessler steps off the train at Buchenwald concentration camp. Having endured the horrors of Auschwitz-Birkenau, lost touch with his entire family, and survived the death march in the freezing European winter, he has seen more than his share of tragedy.

    Moshe knows only one thing about Buchenwald. Everyone knows it.

    If you want to survive, you have to get to Block 66.

    The Germans are cruel and determined – but they are not prepared for Buchenwald’s secret resistance, which rises up with one mission only: to protect the camp’s children from harm.

    This is the incredible true story of Moshe Kessler and Block 66 – the children’s block that was at the forefront of one of the most shocking and inspiring stories of Holocaust survival.

  • The Medium is the Message: And 50 Other Ridiculous Advertising Rules (Ridiculous Design Rules)

    01
    Every single day we’re bombarded with a regular onslaught of advertising. The paper you read, the magazine you buy, the radio show you listen to: they all feature ads. There’s product placement on TV and on the silver screen. And the moment you go online you’re exposed to anything from pop-up ads to spam. And let’s not forget about the public transport that is covered in slogans, and the enormous billboards and flashy neon signs that are all there in the public domain, vying for your attention. No opportunity is wasted by the ad men to grab the attention of potential customers and entice, seduce or convince them to buy a certain product, service or idea. Not surprising then that advertising has been called the greatest art form of the 20th century, as well as the biggest evil man has ever produced. Whether or not you believe in a thing called ARTvertising or of the opinion that advertising, along with branding and marketing, is downright diabolical, you’re bound to find this book a source of inspiration. We’ve collected and researched a total of 51 rules, including “The Medium is the Message,” “Make the Logo Bigger” and that old favorite “Sex Sells.” All the great ad men and women make an appearance, sharing their thoughts and insights. The aim in making this book was not to list all the rules that a budding copywriter or marketer needs to adhere to. Nor did we want to decide which rules are indeed ridiculous and which are valuable words of wisdom. Instead consider this book a source of comfort, joy or good old fun. After all, it’s like American advertising executive Jerry Della Femina (1936) once said: “Advertising is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.”

  • Advertising and the Artist: Ashley Havinden

    01
    Under the professional name “Ashley”, Ashley Havinden (1903-1973) was one of the most successful advertising artists and designers working in Britain in the 20th century. He made his reputation as a graphic designer and the Creative Director of WS Crawford, the most progressive advertising agency in the UK since the 1920s. Amongst his highly influential designs were campaigns for clients as diverse as the Milk Marketing Board, Chrysler Cars, Eno’s Fruit Salts, Gillette and Simpsons of Piccadilly. This book marks the centenary of Havinden’s birth, and it draws extensively upon material which has been donated or lent from Ashley Havinden’s estate to the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in Edinburgh. Contributors to the book include Michael Havinden, Ashley’s son, who has written a personal account of his father’s life; Alice Strang who explores Ashley’s collection of artworks by eminent artist friends; Ann Simpson who examines his interior design work; and Richard Hollis who discusses his influence on 20th-century design.

  • The Advertised Mind: Groundbreaking Insights into How Our Brains Respond to Advertising

    03

    Advertising research organizations have been trying for years to measure the effectiveness of advertising.

    Recent research by Erik du Plessis and his colleagues at Adtrack South Africa, and subsequently at Millward Brown, has helped to show that the strongest factor predicting success is not the scheduling rate, but how much an advertisement is liked.

    Erik du Plessis draws on information about the working of the human brain from psychologists, neurologists and artificial intelligence specialists to suggest why ‘ad-liking’ is such an important factor in establishing a firm memory of an advertisement and predisposing consumers to buy. He explores what ‘ad-liking’ really means, and suggests how use of this paradigm could lead to a new phase in the ongoing effort to obtain maximum return from advertising spend.

    Millward Brown were also behind the research for the BRANDchild initiative.

    From aspiring to expiring copywriters, this book will help you become a more efficient, more confident creative. In other words, you’ll make more money. And friends.

    It’s a little about the creative process and a lot about the craft of writing headlines, with over two hundred example ads.

If you want to learn how to come up with a crap ton of ideas and turn them into headlines that bring personality to your writing, click add to cart.

    Oh, and as much as the title of this book, A Self-Help Guide for Copywriters, was meant to be a little tongue-in-cheek, it takes the subject of creative self-doubt as seriously as it takes creativity. It will help you whack-a-mole self-doubting thoughts before they can even get a word in.

    Note: This is also a great resource for people who dislike copywriters. Read this book and soon you’ll be able to casually point out flaws in their work, making the fragile copywriter in your life feel even more insecure.

  • The End of Advertising: Why It Had to Die, and the Creative Resurrection to Come

    A recovering Mad Man throws down the ultimate challenge to his profession: Innovate or die.

    The ad apocalypse is upon us. Today millions are downloading ad-blocking software, and still more are paying subscription premiums to avoid ads. This $600 billion industry is now careening toward outright extinction, after having taken for granted a captive audience for too long, leading to lazy, overabundant, and frankly annoying ads. Make no mistake, Madison Avenue: Traditional advertising, as we know it, is over. In this short, controversial manifesto, Andrew Essex offers both a wake-up call and a road map to the future.

    In The End of Advertising, Essex gives a brief and pungent history of the rise and fall of Adland–a story populated by snake-oil salesmen, slicksters, and search-engine optimizers. But his book is no eulogy. Instead, he boldly challenges global marketers to innovate their way to a better ad-free future. With trenchant wit and razor-sharp insights, he presents an essential new vision of where the smart businesses could be headed–a broad playing field where ambitious marketing campaigns provide utility, services, gifts, patronage of the arts, and even blockbuster entertainment. In this utopian landscape, ads could become so enticing that people would pay–yes, pay–to see them.

    Praise for The End of Advertising

    “New York media types aren’t quick to pass up a party, even one celebrating a book that predicts their demise. . . . The future of marketing will need to rely on creative, innovative models, Mr. Essex wrote, pointing to The Lego Movie and New York’s Citi Bike bicycle-share program as promising examples.”–The New York Times

    “A rabble-rousing indictment of the ad industry from one of its own. Essex predicts that success will depend less on the ability to annoy and more on the capacity to create and entertain.”–Adam Grant, New York Times bestselling author of Originals and Give and Take

    “Fresh and timely, The End of Advertising is an eye-opening take on the current media landscape. And along with it, Essex provides a road map for how brands can reinvent themselves and navigate this new world.”–Arianna Huffington

    “In this dynamic little book, Essex challenges brands–even those of us who pride ourselves on thinking outside the box–to think bigger still. He’s got me thinking.”–Neil Blumenthal, co-founder of Warby Parker

    “Mandatory reading for anyone who wants to get a message across in this age of authenticity.”–Alexis Ohanian, co-founder, Reddit

  • Advertising the Black Stuff in Ireland 1959-1999: Increments of change (Reimagining Ireland Book 95)

    1959 to 1999 was a pivotal time in the Republic of Ireland’s short history. This book’s journey commences in 1959 when the country had just taken its first steps on the road to internationalization. It concludes 40 years later in 1999, by which time Ireland had metamorphosed into one of the most globalized countries in the world. Inevitably, many of the country’s cultural and societal norms were challenged. The author charts many of the changes that occurred over the course of those years by piecing together a large number of the ads held in the Guinness Archive. Just as Irishness, cultural specificity and the provenance of Guinness formed an integral part of these ads, so too did the growing prevalence of international cultural tropes. The book seeks to interrogate the following: the influence of the Guinness brand’s provenance on advertising campaigns aimed at consumers living in Ireland; the evolution of cultural signs used in Guinness’s advertising campaigns aimed at consumers in Ireland between 1959 and 1999; the extent to which Ireland’s social and economic history might be recounted through the lens of Guinness’s ads; the extent to which Guinness’s advertising might have influenced Irish culture and society.

  • The Hidden Power of Advertising: How Low Involvement Processing Influences the Way We Choose Brands (Admap Monographs): No. 7

    01
    The way advertising works is not so transparent after all. Advertising does have some sort of hidden power which enables it to influence us without our realising it.

    The Hidden Power of Advertising presents a radical new challenge to traditional thinking about the way consumers interact with and process brand communication. For over 70 years the universal assumption has been that advertising is only effective if it consciously persuades consumers to choose a particular brand. In such circumstances attention is critical, which is why most of the advertising industry’s creative resource is focused on achieving the highest possible levels of interest and awareness. But how is it that advertising can and frequently does work, even when consumers have no conscious awareness of having seen or heard the ads themselves?

    Recent neuroscientific research has shown that the brain’s capacity to absorb certain types of brand information is far greater than we ever imagined. Building on these findings, Robert Heath is able to explain with exceptional clarity how advertising creates meaningful and enduring brand associations in our minds, even when we pay virtually no attention to it. These associations exert a powerful influence on our intuitive feelings, and can unknowingly drive us to choose and buy particular brands.

    This mechanism – low involvement processing – turns out to be an especially effective way of getting through to consumers, who in general have little or no interest in learning about brands. Heath shows that low involvement processing has been a major factor behind the success of mega-brands in markets as diverse as insurance, cars, toilet paper, cigarettes, and beer. The Hidden Power of Advertising is a must-read for those involved with creating, planning and researching effective advertising, advertising and marketing academics, indeed anyone interested in the field of advertising and marketing communications.

  • Ultimate Guide to Pay-Per-Click Advertising (Ultimate Series)

    01
    Millions compete for exposure on Google but 99% of them fail to get results.

    As the founder of leading digital intelligence firm AdGooroo, search advertising authority Richard Stokes is in a unique position to reveal what’s going wrong and provide solutions to fix it.

    Using proven strategies from today’s search advertising elite, discover how to drive significantly more traffic to your site, dramatically increase click-through rates, steal impressions from competitors, boost your conversions, and increase your sales by unbelievable amounts.

    Since the previous edition, there have been a number of revolutionary changes in paid search. First, we are increasingly searching from our cell phones rather than desktop computers. Second, Google is no longer the only game in town. For example, Bing, relatively ignored by marketers, once accounted for 30 percent of all U.S. searches and remains a stealth marketing tool. Finally, “search extensions” have become a powerful new technique you can use to collect phone numbers and email addresses with your ads, limit your ads to certain times of day, deliver coupons to nearby customers, and even provide handy “call me” buttons that are displayed only on cell phones. In this new edition, Stokes details all this and more.
