Talking dogs pitching ethnic food. Heart-tugging appeals for contributions. Recruitment calls for enlistment in the military. Tub-thumpers excoriating American society with over-the-top rhetoric. At every turn, Americans are exhorted to spend money, join organizations, rally to causes, or express outrage. Image Makers is a comprehensive analysis of modern advocacy-from commercials to public service ads to government propaganda-and its roots in advertising and public relations. Robert Jackall and Janice M. Hirota explore the fashioning of the apparatus of advocacy through the stories of two organizations, the Committee on Public Information, which sold the Great War to the American public, and the Advertising Council, which since the Second World War has been the main coordinator of public service advertising. They then turn to the career of William Bernbach, the adman's adman, who reinvented advertising and grappled creatively with the profound skepticism of a propaganda-weary midcentury public. Jackall and Hirota argue that the tools-in-trade and habits of mind of "image makers" have now migrated into every corner of modern society. Advocacy is now a vocation for many, and American society abounds as well with "technicians in moral outrage," including street-smart impresarios, feminist preachers, and bombastic talk-radio hosts. The apparatus and ethos of advocacy give rise to endlessly shifting patterns of conflicting representations and claims, and in their midst Image Makers offers a clear and spirited understanding of advocacy in contemporary society and the quandaries it generates.

"In the fall of 1925, young Allan Odell conceived the idea of using consecutive signs along the roadside. . . . In 1963 the last signs were taken down, ending the most famous outdoor advertising venture ever."-1977 Minnesota Almanac The whole story is in this book, plus all the jingles used. The signs are gone now, except for one set on permanent display at The Smithsonian. You can have them all, always, in your own library with this book. "Rowsome's volume indexes each of the 600 jingles . . . and as you down the list, preferably reading aloud, it might evoke visions of 1940 Chevies, roadside diners, signs that said EATS. . . . Why were the Burma-Shave jingles so universally loved? Because they were light-hearted and humorous in hard times and war times."-Bov Swift, Knight News Service

“Conversations with some of the sharpest minds in advertising lead the reader gently into the heart of the business. A great read whether you’re starting out in advertising or simply want to pick up some tips from the greats.” —Mark Tungate, author of Adland: A Global History of Advertising and Branded Beauty: How Marketing Changed the Way We Look   “In Advertisers at Work, Tracy Tuten conducts interviews with some of the ad world’s biggest players. The interviews—ranging from advertising legend Mike Hughes to leaders of the next generation like David Oakley and Susan Credle—reveal much about the nature of creativity and why we all respond to certain ads either with a laugh or a purchase. Tuten’s skillful questions also highlight how these men and women learned the craft, found mentors, and landed jobs doing things they ''didn’t know you could get paid to do.'' They talk about successes and failures, their hopes and dreams, and the direction of the industry as we move into the age of social and branded media. If you are in the field of advertising or one of those people who often say, ‘Hey, did you see that commercial . . .,’ you’ll find Advertisers at Work a valuable addition to your bookshelf.” —John Sweeney, Distinguished Professor, School of Journalism University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill;Former Associate Creative Director, Foote, Cone & Belding In Advertisers at Work, readers will gain insights from the most interesting people working in the field of advertising today, told in their own words.

I mellemkrigstiden blev reklameplakaten et af de mest populære, spektakulære og eksponerede billedmedier i byrummet. Plakaten gjorde både centrale og oversete steder i byen til sine foretrukne scener. Line Hjorth Christensen undersøger den såkaldte plakatbevægelse, The poster movement, der i 1920’erne og 1930’ernes Storbritannien satte nye standarder for reklameplakatens billedsprog og anvendelsesmuligheder med plakater for bl.a. Shell og London Underground. En gruppe banebrydende grafiske designere, bl.a. Edward McNight Kauffer, Abram Games, Austin Cooper, Tom Purvis og Ashley Havinden, dannede fortrop, men også museumsfolk, statslige tjenestemænd, kunstkritikere og erhvervsfolk var del af bevægelsen.De britiske reklameplakater fra perioden har en nærmest primitiv evne til at fange opmærksomheden, men billedsprogligt var de avancerede. Line Hjorth Christensens eftersporing af plakatbevægelsen koncentrerer sig derfor om et nyt grafisk billedsprog. De mest moderne af plakaterne afveg fra mainstreamreklamens illusionisme og tendens til en fortællende stil for i stedet at udtrykke budskabet gennem et formsprog præget af abstraktion, flertydighed og symbolik. Motiverne tilhørte moderniteten: flyvemaskiner, tog, biler, glober, grafer og storbymiljøer eller i variationer over mere traditionsbundne temaer som landskaber, dyr og kendte symboler. Den britiske designfront, der er bogens fokus, og som valgte plakaten og anden hverdagsgrafik som sit foretrukne medie har ikke tidligere været belyst som et samlet kultur- og designhistorisk fænomen. I bogen undersøger forfatteren plakatbevægelsen og reklameplakaten både billedsproligt og udstillingsæstetisk. Karakteristikken af en britisk modernistisk reklameplakat følges op med analyser af forskellige reklameplakater. I forlængelse af bogens museologiske og kulturhistoriske pointer er den et bidrag til udviklingen af det designhistoriske forskningsfelt, som i disse år også vinder frem i Danmark.
