Breakthrough advertising
Book • 1966
Published in 1966, 'Breakthrough Advertising' by Eugene M. Schwartz is a seminal work in the field of advertising copywriting.
The book emphasizes the importance of understanding the psychology of consumer behavior and the five levels of market awareness: unaware, problem-aware, solution-aware, product-aware, and most-aware.
Schwartz discusses key concepts such as the mechanism of desire, intensifiers, and the structure of advertising copy to maximize impact.
He also stresses the need to identify and channel existing mass desires onto a product or service, rather than trying to create new desires.
The book provides practical advice on crafting headlines, testing and optimizing ads, and aligning product benefits with customer desires.
