Social Marketing and Advertising in the Age of Social Media

Edited by Lukas Parker, Professor of Communication, School of Media and Communication and Linda Brennan, Emeritus Professor of Advertising, School of Media and Communication, RMIT University, Australia

'This is something that is long overdue - a full reference work offering contemporary insight into a confusing relationship between social marketing and social media marketing. Where other publications provide only basic practical ''how-to'' guides on social media, this both scholarly and extremely readable book is a ''must read'' for social marketers wanting to include social media in their behaviour change communication toolkit and communication practitioners trying to harness the power of social media for the social good.'--Krzysztof Kubacki, Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand'If you want people to change you need to give them a reason why. Telling stories and use of humour are powerful mechanisms that connect people. This book delivers tools and frameworks you can apply to bring people with you.'--Sharyn Rundle-Thiele, Griffith University, Australia'There are three important contributions this book can make to enhancing the practice of social marketing: it stresses the impact of a systems approach to behaviour change; it advocates for consideration of upstream and midstream audience strategies; and it makes a strong case for social and cultural change to support individual behaviour change.'--Nancy R. Lee, Social Marketing Services, Inc., US
