Advertising Media Workbook and Sourcebook - 9780765640949

This combination of workbook and sourcebook combines easy-to-understand explanations of advertising media sources and calculations with real-world examples of source material from advertising and media companies. It is designed for both practitioners and students - anyone who wants to master the process of advertising media planning.

Each of the book's 45 concise units opens with a brief text segment, presents sample source materials from actual advertising and media companies, and concludes with plenty of hands-on exercises. Units are compact and easy-to-understand, and they progress in a logical way, from communication planning to media strategies and tactics.

The book also includes several valuable appendices: a media math primer, standard media formulae, media planning checklists, and a glossary of media terms.
