  • 1 the Mission of Morton Kirschner
    The mission of Morton Kirschner: the influence of an American art director on Dutch advertising 1960-1980, Wilbert Schreurs Abstract: The mission of Morton Kirschner: the influence of an American art director on Dutch advertising 1960-1980. ‘America’ has had a huge influence on advertising in Europe in the 20 th century and the Netherlands are not an expection. Until now the attention in the literature has gone mainly to the developments following the Marshall Plan, more specifically to the introduction of marketing. But apart from these more or less systematic and theoretical processes there have also been influences of a more spontaneous character, which can be attributed to specific persons. This paper will focus on Morton Kirscher, an American art director who came to The Netherlands in the 1960s. He started his own advertising agency and his mission was to show Dutch advertisers what modern advertising was. His approach was based on the principles of the famous American advertising man William Bernbach. Kirschner wanted to break through what once has been called ‘het gezellige reclamebehang’ in Dutch advertising. Kirschner has had a clear influence on Dutch advertising, for instance in the use of humour, in the use of provoking images and in his notion of the relation between advertising and society. The example of Kirscher shows the important role of individuals in the Americanization of Dutch advertising. It also shows, in some aspects, what the barriers were. Intteresting is that Kirschner’s influence does not seem to fit in the clichés about the influence of America on Dutch advertising.

    Chapter Copy, Design, and Creativity No one can teach you to be creative. But you may be surprised how creative you really are. You may not have been an A+ English student. But you may find you’re an excellent copywriter. You may not be a great sketch artist. But you may discover you have a talent for logo design or ad layouts. If you’re lucky, you’ll take classes that allow you to discover a lot about creative strategy and tactics, and probably1 a lot about yourself. At the very least you should learn: • The correct format for writing copy for each medium. • The basic rules of copywriting and when to break them. • How to put more sell into your copy. • Design basics that apply to all media. • How to connect the reader or viewer with the advertiser. • How to keep continuity throughout a campaign. • The importance of presenting your work. Words of Who Wants to Be a Creative? Wisdom At the beginning of each semester we ask students, “Who wants to be a copywriter?” We get a halfhearted response from about 1 in 6 at the beginning of “Properly practiced the class. “Who wants to be an art director or designer?” Usually we get a few creativity can make one more people raising their hands, but not many. The truth is most students don’t ad do the work of ten.” 1 want to commit to any specific career path in the creative field. These are the most common reasons: —Bill Bernbach • “I think I want to be an account exec.” • “I might want to be an account planner.” • “I want to be a media director.” 1 • “Words are boring.

  • Death of an Organizational Man: an Advertiser's Resistance to the FTC
    Oshkosh Scholar Page 35 Death of an Organizational Man: An Advertiser’s Resistance to the FTC and the Creative Revolution in Advertising in the 1960s Lance Spaude, author Dr. Stephen Kercher, History, faculty adviser Lance Spaude graduated from UW Oshkosh in December 2012 with a degree in marketing. His research began as a paper in a University Honors program senior seminar on the history of the 1960s. As a marketing student Lance has always had an interest in the origins of current advertising strategies and techniques. The seminar course afforded him the unique opportunity to conduct historic research on the advertising field and the events that shaped it into the industry it is today. Dr. Stephen Kercher teaches twentieth-century American history at UW Oshkosh, emphasizing postwar intellectual and cultural life. He earned a Ph.D. in history and American studies at Indiana University in 2000, and published his first book,Revel with a Cause: Liberal Satire in Postwar America, in 2006. Abstract Advertising has harnessed the power of television, radio, the Internet, billboards, and endless new communication mediums, becoming a tremendously profitable industry and a mainstay in American culture. During advertising’s rise, the 1960s was one of the most pivotal decades. America was enveloped in a cultural revolution and the advertising industry itself was facing a creative revolution in management style and advertising norms. This advertising revolution was met with enormous resistance from the select few then in control of the advertising industry. Of this select few, one of advertising’s most prominent figures, Rosser Reeves, fought furiously to preserve the advertising status quo.

  • BILL BERNBACH: REVOLUÇÃO NA HISTÓRIA DA PROPAGANDA Eduardo Refkalefsky E Carolina Van Der Linden RESUMO: O Conceito De Posici
    BILL BERNBACH: REVOLUÇÃO NA HISTÓRIA DA PROPAGANDA Eduardo Refkalefsky e Carolina van der Linden RESUMO: O conceito de posicionamento é considerado central porque divide a história da propaganda em três momentos: fase do produto, fase da imagem e fase do posicionamento. Mas pouco se falou sobre a base empírica para estas idéias. Na verdade, a fonte tem nome e sobrenome, Bill Bernbach, o grande criativo que fez campanhas como a do Fusca e da Avis, que revolucionaram a história da propaganda. OS AUTORES: Eduardo Refkalefsky é professor da Escola de Comunicação (ECO) da UFRJ e professor associado da Escola de Pós-Graduação em Economia (EPGE), da Fundação Getúlio Vargas. Tem graduação e mestrado na própria ECO, defendendo a tese “A gênese do jornalismo polêmico de Hélio Fernandes”, orientada pelo prof. Francisco Dória. É consultor editorial da Coleção Administração e Negócios da Editora Rocco e foi editor das revistas “Tendências do Trabalho” e “Marketing e Negócios”. Trabalha como consultor em Comunicação e Marketing. Carolina van der Linden é graduanda em Publicidade na ECO/UFRJ e trabalha na Doctor Propaganda, no Rio de janeiro. 1. Um publicitário e dois consultores O conceito de posicionamento, formulado por Al Ries e Jack Trout (1997), é um dos mais importantes da propaganda. Os autores mostraram de que a maneira a comunicação deve ser orientada numa era de hipercomunicação, onde cada vez é mais difícil falar com os consumidores. Algumas sentenças do livro viraram verdadeiros axiomas do marketing, na definição de Madia (1998), como “é melhor ser o primeiro do que o melhor” e “é mais importante obter o share of mind do que o share of market”.

  • The Thinkers Essay Final
    “The Thinkers” Essay by Conor Rabbett For Seamus McKinney Introduction (100 Words) In this essay, I will be going into depth about William “Bill” Bernbach, one advertising’s critical figures. He was at the spearhead of the advertising industry with his great advertising skills. I’ll be focusing on his style & what impact’s he had on the world’s advertising industry. I’ll also finish off my essay with a detailed conclusion on why I personally like Bernbach’s style and how I could potentially carry out techniques used by him, in my future advertising products. Details and Analysis of chosen critical thinker (400 Words) William “Bill” Bernbach was born into Rebecca & Jacob Bernbach, a Jewish family, in The Bronx, NYC. Bill went to New York City public schools and in 1932, he acquired a Bachelor of the Arts degree from NYU (New York University). He majored in English but he also studied business admin, philosophy and music - by playing the piano. In 1933, Bill got a job running the mailroom at the Schenley Distillers. Will took charge and he wrote an advertisement for Schenley’s American Cream Whiskey, which he got into the best contacts and from there, the advertisement was a success. Following this, he got a promotion to the advertising department. He eventually left the Schenley Distillers in 1939, where he started to ghostwrite, when you write material for someone else who is the named author, for the head of the 1939 World’s Fair - Grover Whalen.

  • A Profession with History. the Need to Go Back to the Biographies of the Giant Advertising Executives of All Times
    A profession with history. The need to go back to the biographies of the giant advertising executives of all times Francisco Verdera Departamento de Comunicación Pública Facultad de Comunicación Campus Universitario Pamplona 31080 Spain In this paper I would like to argue that Advertising is a profession with a rich past. Secondly I would like to argue that students in our present time need to have a deep Humanism and Advertising history background. Finally I would like argue that it is particularly important for our students to know the biographies of the giants of the profession. They cannot ignore or a have a vague knowledge of the lifes of the giants who forged the profession. In this way they may learn more about their human values. 1. Advertising is a profession with History The Oxford English Dictionary (1989) in its 2nd edn defines “History” in its third meaning as: ‘That branch of knowledge which deals with past events, as recorded in writings or otherwise ascertained; the formal record of the past, especially of human affairs or actions; the study of the formation and growth of communities and nations’. The history of the profession of Advertising fulfills the first two statements of the Oxford Dictionary. It has a past with a beginning in the XIX century, a consolidation from 1870 to 1914, an expansion from 1914 to 1945, a Golden Age, from 1945 to 1970, and a recent history since then. It has its records, among them the ads, posters and spots. Some agencies have donated their archives to universities. And it deals with ‘human affairs or actions’ since the persons are the main actors of the profession.

  • Advertising, Activism, and the Battle Over the Us Federal
    CRISIS OF CONSUMERISM: ADVERTISING, ACTIVISM, AND THE BATTLE OVER THE U.S. FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION, 1969–1980 BY MOLLY NIESEN DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2013 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor John Nerone, Chair Assistant Professor Amanda Ciafone Professor Robert W. McChesney Associate Professor Inger L. Stole ABSTRACT This dissertation chronicles battles over the U.S. Federal Trade Commission’s regulatory powers, which took place from 1969 through 1980. Following a scathing report by consumer activist Ralph Nader, Nixon revitalized what had come to be known as “the little old lady of Pennsylvania Avenue,” and transformed the FTC into the most powerful regulatory agency in Washington. During the period, consumer right’s activists pressured government officials to significantly strengthen the agency’s power to regulate the U.S. telecommunications system and the structure of the U.S. economy as a whole. The FTC’s policies initiated to make advertisers accountable for false claims, as well as those that would limit advertising to children, were all a result of vigorous debates about how the U.S. media should serve in public interest. Using Antonio Gramsci’s theory of hegemony as a theoretical lens, this dissertation reveals the ways in which the Federal Trade Commission’s regulatory renaissance was evidence of an important moment of hegemony. Congress cemented and extended the FTC’s power in 1975 through a series of extraordinary legislative actions. Bolstered by these new laws, in 1977 the FTC voted unanimously for rulemaking to significantly limit advertising to children.

Bob Dylan, 1964. La première saison de Mad Men ne se passe pas dans les années 60. Elle se passe en 1960. A la charnière de deux époques, au matin d’une décennie qui va être le théâtre de bouleversements sociaux et culturels dont les effets résonnent jusqu’à aujourd’hui : mouvements contestataires, poussées émancipatrices, explosion de l’hyper- consommation, amplification de la culture pop et télévisuelle, valorisation de la pensée subversive... D’une certaine manière, Mad Men est la scénarisation d’une collision entre deux sociétés en rupture, que l’on va observer tel un Janus en stéréoscopie, un regard vers l’avenir, l’autre dans le rétroviseur.
