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

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

Brands, Bandwagons & Bullsh*t: How marketing, advertising, media and PR work – the essential guide for career planning and professional understanding.
Rory Sutherland, Vice Chairman at Ogilvy, said the following about ‘Brands, Bandwagons & Bullshit’: –
“I noticed that this book ingeniously starts with a glossary – which was recommendation enough. But it gets even better from there on. I’m really enjoying it”.
In marketing, it’s easy to get caught up in the hype – the latest channel, brand, agency or media outlet. Cutting the useful from the useless is a constant battle.
Marketing, Advertising, PR and Media are all designed to sound awesome, but how can you possibly know which path is right for you without getting stuck in? You won’t know the facts until it’s too late – so the best thing to do is research what’s out there and make the most informed choices possible.
‘Brands, Bandwagons & Bullshit’ was written for two main audiences:- First, Students, Graduates and young marketing professionals looking to find their first job in marketing, advertising, media or PR . Second, it’s useful for an older demographic of those people who use marketing within their businesses but have no idea how it works (and are, by now, too afraid to ask).
Marketing is never perfect. How could it be? Every second of every day, everything that helps inform your decisions changes. Trends disperse, media pivots, demographics shift, geographies imbalance, economies peak and trough, products fail, creative is subjective, Pandemics arrive and strategy’s a Rubik’s Cube of a conundrum.
‘Brands, Bandwagons & Bullshit’ was written using notes, hints and tips I’ve found valuable myself and it also contains snippets from several articles I’ve written for Marketing Week, Campaign and other magazines. The topics are wide ranging, broaching marketing strategy, brand strategy, campaign tactics and some of the pitfalls you may/ will encounter on your own journey.
Part 1: Getting Started’ covers the things you might want to consider before you get your first job whilst ‘Part 2 – The Marketing Bit’ branches out into the strategy, tactics and campaigns that brands employ to give them an edge (or sometimes get it very, very wrong).
This isn’t a ‘self-help’ book, nor does it profess to hold all the answers. Think of it less as a Sat Nav directing you to your ideal marketing career or a bible for perfect marketing and more like a shopping list to browse, extracting useful snippets at will.
The baking of the cake is totally up to you, but hopefully you’ll pick up some useful directions and suggested ingredients over the coming pages to help you steer between the bullshit and the bandwagons.

The Creative Brief Blueprint: Crafting Strategy That Generates More Effective Advertising
As the world of marketing communications has become more tactically complex, the strategy behind the work has suffered. Most ads aren’t good. They don’t achieve the results that the company desires. They end up costing precious time and money. Neither you nor the target like to look at them either. Humanity has been creating marketing communications for over 8000 years. You would think people would be good at this by now.
The problem is people aren’t good at it. Rather, as technology has improved, people have become better at learning just how bad they are. As brands are able to test more efficiently, they are witnessing less effective and even ineffective advertising. As brands have become able to produce spots more effectively, they’re seeing more rounds of development that increase costs. And, as brands continue to recognize the value of clear marketing communications, the client-agency relationship has continued to deteriorate. A vicious cycle is upon us where brands are spending large sums of money to learn that the advertising was ineffective; rather than fix the problems, they simply repeat–we are in our very own version of “Groundhog’s Day.”
This book is designed to give readers the tools they need to achieve meaningful improvement in their communications now and in the future. This book seeks to break the cycle of ineffective strategy and creative and help brands steer their marketing communications towards meaningful results and success. In the Creative Brief Blueprint, Kevin McTigue and Derek Rucker merge decades of academic insights and practical experience to offer an approachable and actionable guide to crafting successful communications strategy. This strategy is brought to life via a concise and precise “creative brief” that acts as the blueprint for creative work.
In each chapter, the authors explain a particular part of the brief, review the value of the brief element to both clients and agencies, identify why brands fail and how to succeed, and answer common queries with regard to myths, misconceptions, and other questions.
Tactics will continue to evolve at a rapid pace, but the need for sound strategy is present now more than ever. This book gives readers the tools they need to achieve meaningful improvement in their communications now and in the future.Read more

How To Make Better Advertising And Advertising Better: The Manifesto for a New Creative Revolution
“The ad industry is in an unprecedented state of confusion. While the assertions and pomposity grow majestically, the advertising itself diminishes rapidly. Sadly there is no button we can push that will erase all the arrogance and self-delusion. Fortunately we have this book. It might be just the reset button we all need.” Bob HoffmanSomething is rotten in the state of advertising. CEOs and marketers tell us that working with agencies is painful and laborious. Agency people tell us they feel undervalued, overworked and stifled by poor processes. And the poor old punter is left faced with advertising that is at best forgettable, and at worst insulting to the intelligence. Surely Advertising can be better than this?
“This book is full of common sense. Which is rare, so it’s actually full of uncommon sense.” Dave Trott
How as a businessperson or marketer can you get the most out of your advertising budget?
What to look for in an agency or the people you choose to work with?
What can help your advertising rise above the mass of messages out there?
What can advertising agencies do to improve the quality and effectiveness of their output?We were having a cup of tea and a chat one morning when we had the idea for this book. In our opinion, the quality and effectiveness of advertising in general is not good enough. We think the way businesses work with agencies and the way that agencies organise themselves and develop advertising needs to be improved. It’s time the advertising industry had a much-needed kick up the proverbial.

Reality in Advertising
Rarely has a book about advertising created such a commotion as this brilliant account of the principles of successful advertising. Published in 1961, Reality in Advertising was listed for weeks on the general best-seller lists, and is today acknowledged to be advertising’s greatest classic. It has been translated into twelve languages-French, Japanese, Spanish, Dutch, German, Italian, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, Finnish, Hebrew-and has been published in twenty-one separate editions in fifteen countries. Leading business executives, and the advertising cognoscenti, hail it as “the best book for professionals that has ever come out of Madison Avenue.” (For typical comments see back of jacket.) Rosser Reeves says: “The book attempts to formulate certain theories of advertising, many quite new, and all based on 30 years of intensive research.” These theories, whose value has been proved in the marketplace, all revolve around the central concept that success in selling a product is the key criterion of advertising. In the course of explaining his own hard-headed approach, Mr. Reeves shows why the ad campaigns for many products are just so much money poured down the drain. He has some devastating things to say about advertising’s misguided men: the “aesthetes” and the “puffers” who put art and technique ahead of the client’s sales; and he punctures many of the misguided philosophies which lower the efficiency of advertising, rather than raising it. But even more important is the thoroughness and clarity with which he explains many of the mysteries of how to write advertising that produces these sales. Here, in short, is a concise, forcefully written guide that has been called “a ‘Rosetta Stone’ for the advertising business”- an essential book for anyone who works in advertising, or uses advertising extensively. It is today required reading in hundreds of great corporations and many of the world’s leading business schools.Read more

The Book of Guinness Advertising
AT LAST! GUINNESS ADS BROUGHT TO BOOK!
Celebrating over fifty-five years of amusing and entertaining Guinness advertisements, with such memorable characters as the toucan (‘Just think what toucan do’) and the ostrich who swallowed his keeper’s Guinness glass and all!
This book tells the fascinating story of how and why Guinness advertising first began in 1928, and looks at the ways in which it has changed and developed over the years and around the world.
Recalled in these pages are the famous Guinness strong-man carrying his girder, the lumberjack who felled a tree at a stroke, the pelican who carried a week’s supply of Guinness in his bill and the little girl called Alice who had many strange adventures in a Guinness wonderland.
Almost every aspect of Guinness advertising is recorded here, from immortal poster slogans like ‘My Goodness My Guinness!’ and ‘I’ve. never tried it because I don’t like it’ to witty television commercials featuring the talking toucan and the Friends of the Guinnless.
Illustrated throughout with hundreds of pictures (in colour and black & white) including many examples of original artwork and unused designs. Among the famous artists and illustrators whose work is pictured are Ronald Searle, Rex Whistler, Edward Ardizzone, H.M. Bateman, Antony Groves-Raines, Eric Fraser, Emett, Thelwell, Erte, Hoffnung, Giles and the man who, for over twenty years, epitomized Guinness advertising John Gilroy.Read more

Persuasive Marketing: The use of NLP in Advertising & Marketing
Persuasive Marketing an introduction to the use of NLP in
Marketing & Advertising.Why do some advertising campaigns work and others fall flat?
Behavioural Psychology demonstrates that we process marketing and advertising messages in the same way that we process interpersonal communication. This is because humans have built-in ‘fixed action patterns’ that produce
consistent, predictable responses. These ‘fixed action patterns’ are unconscious hard-wired shortcuts that help us make decisions, behave or act more efficiently.Many of these ‘fixed action patterns’ are well known in Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and are used for creating rapid behavioural change. Perhaps it’s not suprising that these exact same patterns are used in marketing and advertising to increase acquisition, improve loyalty and reduce attrition.
In effect these patterns make your audience more likely to behave in predictable ways.
These patterns can be easily identified, measured and charted. This enables the effect of any form of advertising or marketing communication to be predicted.
Persuasive Marketing will introduce you to these patterns and how to use them effectively.

The Anatomy of Humbug: How to Think Differently About Advertising
How does advertising work? Does it have to attract conscious attention in order to transmit a ‘Unique Selling Proposition’? Or does it insinuate emotional associations into the subconscious mind? Or is it just about being famous… or maybe something else? In Paul Feldwick’s radical new view, all theories of how advertising works have their uses – and all are dangerous if they are taken too literally as the truth. The Anatomy of Humbug deftly and entertainingly picks apart the historical roots of our common – and often contradictory – beliefs about advertising, in order to create space for a more flexible, creative and effective approach to this fascinating and complex field of human communication. Drawing on insights ranging from the nineteenth-century showman P.T. Barnum to the twentieth-century communications theorist Paul Watzlawick, as well as influential admen such as Bernbach, Reeves and Ogilvy, Feldwick argues that the advertising industry will only be able to deal with increasingly rapid change in the media landscape if it both understands its past and is able to criticise its most entrenched habits of thought. The Anatomy of Humbug is an accessible business book that will help advertising and marketing professionals create better campaigns.Read more
