Advertising: Concept and Copy

It is a very useful book for those studying advertising and learning how to create a campaign. It was a very fruitful gift for the person who received it from me.

Love the graphics and text. Great overview of Copywriting information.

I can easily say that, of the dozen copywriting/persuasion books I own, this book is one of the most practical. It gets all the prerequisite stuff in there (target audience research, how to create a brief, choosing a strategy) and throws in topics people rarely cover, like how to write in a particular voice or writing non-hype headlines. i recommend this book for newbies and pros alike. And I say that as a mid-level digital copywriter with 4+ years of professional experience.

Because it contains an awful lot of information, it is not a book I reach for when I have just a few minutes to spare. But when I have serious time to set aside and focus, I find it to be very insightful and idea-generating. Of the dozens of top-rated advertising books I've read, this is probably my favorite.

good read. Helpful towards a thorough understanding of the subject.
