So youve just come up with a new ad campaign. Love the spots! Too bad no one will ever see themeven worsetoo bad no one cares! Why is it that so much of that stuff we immediately recognize as advertising is so bad? Its not just badwellit sucks.

The problem today? Gone are the chain-smoking, bourbon-slugging, secretary-assaulting ad men of the 60s. Newspapers and radio are dying. Commercial TV is losing its audience to subscription-based content. Todays consumer of advertising content is mobile, prepared to DVR through commercials, and watch content on their terms online, on a hand-held device, or a Smartphone.

Through real-world examples and biting humor, they show how to market in ways that are both creative and smart.

The Films of Fritz Lang
Author: Tom Gunning
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 1838718842
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 985
Book Description
ln this volume Tom Gunning examines the films of Fritz Lang not only as a stylistically coherent body of work, but as an attempt to portray the modern world through cinema. The world of modernity in which systems replace individuals is conveyed by Lang's mastery of cinematic set design, composition and editing. Lang presents not only a decades-long vision of cinematic narrative which can be compared to that of Alfred Hitchcock or Jean Renoir, but a view of modernity that relates strongly to the ideas of Adorno, Brecht, Benjamin and Kracauer. From the sweeping allegorical films of the 20s to the chilly and abstract thrillers of the 50s, Lang's films, Gunning claims, are 'among the most precious records of the twentieth century'. The Films of Fritz Lang immeasurably enriches our understanding of a great artist and, in so doing, reimagines what a film arlist is: an author who fades away even in being recognised and interpreted, an enigmatic figure at the junction of aesthetics, history, biography and theory.

Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 193
Book Description
God is at work in the city. And he invites his people to join him. But the city is not merely a mission field for Christians to target. The city is also the environment where Christians are discipled and lives are forged into the image of Jesus. Urban ministry veteran Randy White shows how God transforms you when you answer God's call to the city. Urban life peels away your sin and self-deception and challenges your unexamined assumptions about privilege, race, class and power. Experiential discipleship moves you from abstract theory to hands-on learning and on-the-ground action, revolutionizing your perspective and making a difference in local neighborhoods and beyond. Passionate and practical, White's vivid narratives of experiencing God in the city show you how your spiritual health is intertwined with the health of the metropolis. Seek the welfare of the city, and both you and the city will be transformed.

He's So MASC
Author: Chris Tse
Publisher: Auckland University Press
ISBN: 1775589757
Category : Poetry
Languages : en
Pages : 118
Book Description
This is my blood oath with myself: the onlydead Chinese person I'll write about from now onis me. &‘Punctum'In How to be Dead in a Year of Snakes, Chris Tse took readers back to a shocking 1905 murder. Now he brings the reader much closer to home. He's So MASC confronts a contemporary world of self-loathing poets and compulsive liars, of youth and sexual identity, and of the author as character — pop star, actor, hitman, and much more. These are poems that delve into worlds of hyper-masculine romanticism and dancing alone in night clubs. With its many modes and influences, He's So MASC is an acerbic, acid-bright, yet unapologetically sentimental and personal reflection on what it means to perform and dissect identity, as a poet and a person.
