Adland is a ground-breaking examination of modern advertising, from its origins and evolution to the current advertising landscape. Bestselling author and journalist Mark Tungate examines key developments in advertising, from copy adverts, radio and television, to the opportunities afforded by the explosion of digital media and then interviews leading names in advertising today, including Jean-Marie Dru, Sir Alan Parker, Sir John Hegarty and Sir Martin Sorrell, as well as 20th century industry luminaries such as Phil Dusenberry and George Lois.
Exploring the roots of the advertising industry in New York and London, from Hopkins and Lasker to the Mad Men of the 50s, Tungate then covers today's big communication groups and the emerging markets of Eastern Europe, Asia and Latin America. Adland offers a comprehensive examination of a global industry and suggests ways in which it is likely to develop in the future.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this heady, well-researched gem, British journalist Tungate (Fashion Brands) illustrates the history and globalization of the $400 billion a year advertising industry. Tungate begins by simultaneously addressing consumers' skepticism (or outright disdain) toward the jargon, psychobabble and double talk of advertising and advertisers' laudable financing of a free, varied, democratic media, before hunting down the field's birth during the Industrial Revolution. He traces the industry from there through today's exploding media frontier of new global markets, viral advertising and seemingly infinite bandwidth. Along the way, he looks at trailblazers like Bill Bernbach and David Ogilvy, whose prosperous agencies and their offspring propelled advertising worldwide, and especially in the U.S., throughout the 20th century. He looks at key players, time periods and hot spots (Madison Avenue in the 1950s, Tokyo's Dentsu, the Omnicom megamerger) with snappy storytelling, interviews with bigwigs and bucketsful of trivia. Tungate argues effectively that the prevalence and effectiveness of a given country's advertising is commensurate with that country's entire economy; media enthusiasts and professionals will find this a handy, entertaining and insightful guide to the past and future of the ad world.
