      Effective slogans rely on sound rather than just words, utilizing techniques like rhyme, alliteration, repetition, reversals, and double-entendre to enhance memorability. The book explores why many slogans fail to employ these tactics, revealing a survey showing only a small fraction effectively use them. It emphasizes the importance of pairing a compelling slogan with a strong visual element, or "visual hammer," to reinforce brand recognition. Together with the author's previous work, this book provides insights into crafting impactful advertising strategies.

      Specjaliści od zarządzania zwykle intensywniej używają lewej półkuli mózgu, natomiast specjaliści od marketingu – prawej. Dlatego właśnie podczas wszystkich narad tak trudno im się porozumieć, chociaż wydaje się, że mówią o tym samym. Autorzy udowadniają, że znacznie ważniejsze od tego, co się mówi, jest to, jak się mówi. Tłumaczą, że zarządzanie należy do sfery realnej, a marketing do sfery mentalnej; zarządzający chcą coraz lepszych, a marketingowcy zróżnicowanych produktów; zarządzający wyrażają swoje myśli słowami, a marketingowcy pokazują wizje przedsięwzięć. Na pytanie, jak to wszystko pogodzić, można znaleźć odpowiedź w prezentowanej książce. Książka jest przeznaczona dla menedżerów, przedsiębiorców, kadr kierowniczych, osób zajmujących się marketingiem, studentów zarządzania i marketingu.

      Move business forward and drag Top Management along with you! Al Ries' best selling book, The Fall of Advertising and the Rise of PR, shook the advertising industry to the bone. The advertising world was outraged. When Ries argued that advertising just wasn't working any more, he had struck a nerve. Advertising was simply not changing with the times. Half a decade later, things have come full circle. PR is now finding its credibility in the intensive care unit. Stefan Engeseth gives the PR business the same treatment. The Fall of PR & the Rise of Advertising, with a foreword by Al Ries, analyses the enormous changes in the media landscape in PR, advertising and everything in between. Stefan Engeseth's books, Detective Marketing and ONE, have firmly established him as one of today's most refreshing business thinkers. In his latest book, The Fall of PR & the Rise of Advertising, he shows how advertising has redefined itself and re-emerged as a force to be reckoned with. Written in his trade mark, funny, original and provocative style, the book adds whole new dimensions to the business world.
