Rezensionen

I have a confession to make, my opinion about this book is heavily biased!

Dr. Georgia Miliopoulou, Zozeta for me, is a friend - Many, many years ago when I was a junior strategist (we were called planners back then), she was a mighty Creative Director who demanded my briefs to be brief and bright. And that taught me a lot.

Equally, her book is going to teach you a lot regardless your experience. It will reveal secrets for creative advertising's form and function, and it will position for you Advertising in its rightful place, at the intersection of culture and commerce. Refreshingly the book avoids falling in the trap of the many pseudo-dichotomies that torture creative advertising today (i.e., equity vs. performance, traditional vs digital, long term vs short term, mass vs personalized) and sticks to timeless principles and how they can be applied in today's environment effectively. In that sense it doesn't simply rally for a return "back to the basics" of advertising creation but arms the reader with the ability to move forward with basics.

Highly recommended to anybody who considers himself a student of advertising.
