Global Advertising Practice in a Borderless World / Edition 1

by Robert Crawford, Linda Brennan, Lukas Parker

Overview

Cultural and regional differences in creating and managing advertising require unique responses to a dynamic, rapidly globalising business environment. To be global in advertising is no longer to be homogenised or standardised, it is to be at the leading edge of social and cultural trends that are changing the world as we know it.

Global Advertising Practice in a Borderless World covers a wide range of adaptive advertising practices, from major and emerging markets, in mainstream and digital advertising. It focuses on understanding how the globalisation of advertising works in practice, explored in three sections:

• globalising advertising in a media and communications context;
• advertising in a global world; and
• global advertising in a digital world.

Covering past, present and potential futures, through an impressive ensemble of global advertising practitioners and academics, the book combines academic rigour with practical insights to provide a comprehensive analysis of the changing dynamics between advertising and globalisation. It will be of great interest to researchers, educators and advanced students in advertising, global branding, international marketing, international business media, communication and cultural studies.

Robert Crawford, Linda Brennan, and Lukas Parker’s book provides a refreshing and unique overview of advertising practice in the world. The bird’s eye view of the industry and the regional perspectives well highlight the globalization and regionalization realities, opportunities, and challenges facing the advertising industry. The special attention paid to cultural differences and information technology development makes the book even more relevant and more valuable to today’s advertising practice. The book is indeed a pleasant and must read for anyone—student, practitioner, and scholar alike—who desires a good understanding of advertising in this "borderless world."
