Using the most up-to-date research, Principles of Advertising examines such advertising classics as the Morton salt girl and the new advertising icons of 1998, such as the Budweiser lizards and the Taco Bell Chihuahua. You will also discover that an international focus permeates this text, with international issues raised in each chapter's section entitled The Global Perspective.

Unique in its practicality, Principles of Advertising begins each chapter with two descriptive or anecdotal vignettes along with visual illustrations to further engage students who most likely grew up with a visual orientation of the Television Age. You will explore definitions, background histories, and specific examples of different advertising techniques.
