Eco and Ethical Advertising: Creativity, Sustainability, and Diversity in Theory and Practice (en Inglés) - Jackie Raphael-Luu

Designed to teach students the essential theory and tools of advertising, this unique textbook also places a special emphasis on sustainability, diversity and ethical issues within contemporary practise.

Offering a complete introduction to the topic, this book covers practical and creative skills while raising central theories of communication and knowledge around the impact of advertising. Topics include a short history of the industry, branding, writing briefs and de-briefing, conceptualising, art direction and copywriting. Readers will also be introduced to consumer behaviour to understand their target audience and key theories around persuasion, rhetoric, semiotics, colour theory and meaning transfer. Each topic is offset by tasks and tips which encourage students to engage with and understand its moral implications: from environmental impacts, to stereotyping and representation. With activities in every chapter, this book takes a scaffolding approach to learning, guiding readers from the basics up to landing their first job in the industry and reinforcing knowledge along the way. A concluding chapter offers guidance on portfolio layouts, CV content, interview preparation, networking skills, and applying for competitions.

This is an essential read for anyone undertaking courses in Creative Advertising, Marketing and Ethical Advertising Practice.
