‘In Advanced Introduction to Advertising, Patrick De Pelsmacker concisely captures the most important advertising principles that advertising students and practitioners need to be aware of. The book is very timely with its coverage of recent changes in the field, including the digital revolution. It is particularly impressive in its ability to explain theories of how advertising works and how to plan effective strategy as well as measuring outcomes. De Pelsmacker also provides a global perspective and takes a broad look at ethical issues in the field – both critical issues today. Most impressive is how effectively all of this is communicated in a relatively short number of pages.’
