How do you write a great ad?

Also featured are Barry's concept drawings of over 400 of the greatest ads of all time.For the revised edition, both the interactive and the integrated chapters have been expanded, covering the latest concepts using digital technology and the progression of integrated 360° branding. New exercises have been created throughout, plus additional illustrations including recent award-winners like Cadbury's “Gorilla” and Old Spice’s “The Man Your Man Could Smell Like,” both conceptually timeless campaigns.An essential guide for students in advertising, communications, marketing, and allied fields, this is also an invaluable reference for professionals.
