Интересно, зачем и для кого была написана эта книга? Если книга писалась для людей, которые в маркетинге и/или рекламе совершенно не разбираются, то в этом случаи они мало что запомнят. Если же книга писалась для людей разбирающихся в теме маркетинга и/или рекламы, то они в этой книге не найдут ничего нового. Но скорее всего автор ориентировалась именно на первую категорию читателей. Но кто они? Студенту или люди совершенно далёкие от темы маркетинга и/или рекламы? Для студентов такая книга не принесёт пользы ибо для понимания того как устроена и как работает реклама предоставленной информации не достаточно. Мне даже кажется, что Википедия предлагает и то более расширенное объяснение, чем автор этой книги. Эта книга даже чем-то походит на сборник постов из Facebook или даже Twitter, ибо настолько короткие у автора получились объяснения. Другими словами перед нами очень поверхностное разъяснение основ рекламы. Вот только вопрос, «Зачем и для кого написана эта книга?», остаётся для меня не отвеченным. Как я написал ранее, для студентов, которые изучают маркетинг и/или рекламу, предоставленного материала не достаточно для понимания предмета. Для студентов, например, медицинского факультета, такое короткое объяснение так же довольно бессмысленное, ибо они просто ничего не запомнят. Для граждан, которые никак не связаны ни с учёбой в ВУЗе ни с работой в области маркетинга и рекламы, такая книга также не принесёт понимания предмета. Да и смысла им читать её нет. Намного проще прочитать отдельные статьи на Википедии на тему маркетинга и рекламы, ибо книга построена таким образом, что одна глава не является продолжением следующей.

I wonder why and for whom this book was written. If the book was written for people who don't know anything about marketing and/or advertising, then they won't remember much. If the book was written for people who know about marketing and/or advertising, then they will not find anything new in this book. But most likely, the author focused on the first category of readers. But who are they? Are they students or people who are completely distant from the topic of marketing and/or advertising? If for students, this book will not be useful because the information provided is not enough to understand how advertising works. It even seems to me that Wikipedia offers a more extended explanation than the author of this book. This book even looks like a collection of posts from Facebook or Twitter because the author's explanations are so short. In other words, we have a very superficial explanation of the basics of advertising. But only the question, "Why and for whom is this book written?" remains unanswered for me. As I wrote earlier, for students who are studying marketing and/or advertising, the provided material is not enough to understand the subject matter. For students, for example, of medical faculty, such a short explanation is also quite meaningless because they simply will not remember anything. For citizens who are not associated with either studying at university or working in the field of marketing and advertising, such a book also will not bring understanding of the subject. And there is no sense for them to read it. It is much easier to read separate articles on Wikipedia on the subject of marketing and advertising because the book is built in such a way that one chapter is not a continuation of the next.
