Ranch International for training in innovative marketing "I love this book! It will help a lot of people." – Marc Rubin, Award-Winning New York Creative Director & Art Director FROM ADVERTISING AGE MAGAZINE "With no fanfare or publicity, these ad sleuths [the author and the media planner he retains as needed] are assigned projects to solve and then they slip away – sometimes without even the knowledge of the primary agency .... their work is virtually always kept from the public.” DISCOVER HOW TO CREATE INNOVATIVE ADVERTISING THAT SUCCEEDS In this groundbreaking new book, an award-winning Madison Avenue copywriter, creative director, and creative consultant reveals the secrets of successful creative advertising – the most effective style of advertising ever devised. And he provides a unique method for maximizing its power – The Creative Exploratory. When you read just the first few pages of The Secrets of Successful Creative Advertising, you’ll understand more about the advertising creative process and how to create and select successful creative advertising than most people have ever known. And when you read the entire book, you’ll know enough to become one of the most effective, award-winning creative people in advertising or a marketing person with the ability to recognize and select creative work that is likely to be remarkably successful. The author demonstrates the secrets of creative advertising with examples that range from the beginning of the advertising creative revolution in the 1950s to the latest Internet advertising. MUST READING TO MASTER THE MOST CONSISTENTLY SUCCESSFUL Creative advertising, when done correctly, is the most consistently successful style of advertising ever devised. Why? It makes use of all the applicable resources of verbal and visual art to magnify the selling proposition, while other styles of advertising rely on comparatively ordinary means of magnification, such as excessive repetition, shouting, and commonplace visuals.
