Features: Since the 1980s, the advertising theories we have adopted can be broadly categorized into Western and Eastern models. Developed market economies in Western countries have led to fully differentiated and mature consumer markets, which serve as the foundation for the development of Western advertising studies. This also sets objective requirements for advertising actions: to showcase the unique beauty of products in a concise manner, grounded in artistry, in order to cater to the ever-changing and diverse preferences of consumers. On the other hand, the Western advertising model, which emphasizes free expression, tends to highlight the personality of products (or brands). These characteristics of the Western model do not align well with our cultural habits, posing certain challenges for our learning. This book is a textbook that fully meets current needs in advertising studies. It also has its own distinctive writing style. In line with textbook requirements, it emphasizes systematicity, organization, clear chapter divisions, and lucid narration. It includes both theoretical summaries and case analyses. The author has extensively researched and compiled various arguments and a large number of examples, charts, and data, making the content quite rich. Advertising is both a science and an art. Although we cannot fully explain advertising theories from an artistic perspective, we can at least strive to enhance our appreciation of advertising as an art. Therefore, it is not only suitable for university-level advertising teaching but can also serve as a reference book for advertising professionals.
