It took 50 years on Madison Avenue, a million concepts for mostly Fortune 100 Companies and more than a hundred professionals to write this book.
Patrick Peduto worked in advertising for five of the top-ten advertising agencies in the world and his own as an art director, copywriter, designer, creative director and commercial film director. Over the last 50 years Patrick worked on over 200 products for Fortune 100 companies and entrepreneurs.Patrick has also taught for over 30 years. First, at FIT - Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC and currently online for AAU - Academy of Art University. Over those years he took notes to write a book aimed at students and people new to advertising.The book is not a 101 effort but more of an insight into the creative jobs - the good, the bad and the ugly. It includes "readmits" (sound bites) from other professionals and students. And there are many MadMan stories that he experienced and/or was part of.It's sort of a textbook written to be read cover-to-cover OR opened to any page to read/review a topic. Not only are the pages numbered, but the paragraphs are too for reference. There is an index in the back.The book contains plenty of 4c photos, graphics, ads and examples -- including links to YouTube TV commercials.
