Their original ideas broke through barriers of what was possible in communication. Selling Creative provides in-depth profiles of the culturally astute men and women who tapped into their generation's fears and desires. This book tells the story of advertising's Creative Revolution through the lives of the people who lived and worked in the era.Selling Creative - Advertising Men and Women in the Hall of Fame tells the stories of the generation that changed advertising; they elected presidents, discovered affluent activists, and found the magic of persuasion in humor, wit and entertainment.

Living Water
What is Living Water? How is it related to us in terms of economics, physics and theology? During the first Industrial Revolution, James Watt designed steam engine. Steam is known as living water. Adam Smith (1776) advocated a spirit of laissez-faire for economic system based on the self-regulating principle of flyball governor for a steam engine. Currency and water are indispensable media in life and exhibit characteristics of fluids. Lately some physicists endeavored economics in terms of properties of water, e.g.: temperature as an integrating factor or GDP, entropy as a state variable or production function, work, quality, incubation, liquidation, etc. Living Water assumes the holistic perspective of "scientia ancilla theologiae" and incorporates biblical economic & financial principles. It postulates the law of supply and demand of market as an equation of state of gas - a plausible explanation for 'invisible hand'. It discusses the equation of change using universal growth curve as an example.Spiritually, living water is a symbol for salvation and a true knowledge of God.The gas metaphor is spiritually intriguing since God breathed air into Adam'snostrils as the breath of life (Genesis 2:7). Also, Jesus breathed air on disciplesand gave the Holy Spirit in John 20:22.Regardless of the development in neo-classical economics and econo-physics, the influences of Adam Smith and Karl Marx are undeniable in recent history. Current political tensions were rooted in the grid-lock debate of capitalism and communism.It is time to re-explore Protestant Ethics to guide government configuration and policies, e.g. 'Do justice, love mercy and walk humbly with God' (Micah 6:8b). Christian ethics can only be upheld by honoring the tripartite government outlined in Isaiah 33:22: "For the Lord is our judge, the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our king; it is he who will save us."

Method Marketing
Practical lessons from Direct Marketing GeniusesDenny Hatch is a legendary direct marketing writer who has boiled down his copywriting expertise into the method marketing approach. Method marketing works by creating intrigue and delight for customers. Of course, this is easier said than done; so Hatch teaches us by recounting and analyzing case studies of wildly successful entrepreneurs who grew their large businesses on the power of their marketing copy. The stories he tells are entertaining, but he doesn't limit himself to just vignettes. Method Marketing also guides us with dos and don'ts backed by facts and figures.Here's What Reviewers Have Said About Method Marketing: Method Marketing shows "how to write successful direct response copy by putting yourself in the customer's shoes. Packed with case histories of modern direct response success stories, including Bill Bonner of Agora Publishing, and Martin Edelston of Boardroom, Inc." -Robert W. Bly, author of over 100 books on direct marketing including The Copywriter's Handbook. Bly included Method Marketing on his best marketing books ever list as "One of 10 Marketing Books Actually Worth Reading""...the examples chosen here [in Method Marketing] are powerful-and more important-[and] their workings are explained in detail. The best letters are dissected and parsed down to individual words, with statistics and research supporting the results. Hatch's colloquial tone attracts even readers otherwise not used to advertising matters; eloquent stories such as the fall and rise of Covenant House, for instance, will not fail to mesmerize." -Booklist (published by the American Library Association)"Written in a fun and conversational tone, this book was hard to put down. As founder of the newsletter Who's Mailing What! Hatch owns the largest private collection of direct mail. At one time, advertisers were sending him 3,000 to 4,000 mailers a month. He's a direct mail expert indeed."-Inside BusinessThis book is also available from Echo Point Books as a hardcover (ISBN 1648372759).

Social Impact of Wine Marketing
This book is inspired by the term "digiwine," a neologism referring to the production and/or marketing of wine through the use of new technologies and robotics such as vineyard information systems, sensor units, weather stations, drones, robotic harvesters, social media videos, digital labels, and wine apps. The alcohol industry is using these technologies to develop digital strategies and online tools for more efficient sales of wine. This book analyzes the use of digital alcohol marketing, the reasons for it, the role of regulation, and its social impact. In particular, malignant forms of alcohol marketing to youth are precisely described through exact case descriptions from the global milieu. The author questions whether the loopholes in the legislation or inefficiency of self-regulation have negative consequences that can no longer be prevented by public health care programs. When and how did the alcohol industry become so deeply interwoven in our lives that we mindlessly advertise and parade in its shadow on social media and that we increasingly buy alcohol digitally for fun, in innovative packaging, and with strange ingredients combinations? Dr. Mojca Ramsak's book peels back the layers of the alcohol industry's most obvious yet overlooked marketing tactics. It also reveals the sluggishness of preventive and curative efforts, as well as legal or self-regulatory measures, at keeping up with the alcohol industry's use of technology. - Nadja Furlan Stante, Principal Research Associate and Professor of Religious Studies, Science and Research Centre of Koper, Slovenia.
