Advances in Advertising Research series are published annually by the European Advertising Academy (EAA).

Vol. 1 Research on advertising, branding and communication from an international perspective is essential in the face of the growing globalisation of markets, which requires academics and practitioners to take an increasingly international orientation in developing communication policies. Researchers as well as advertisers and marketers are confronted with an expanding, and above all changing, variety of both traditional and new media available for communication purposes, among them, advergames, mobile marketing and viral marketing. The goal of this book is to advance more systematic research in these fields from an international orientation. Renowned communication researchers from around the globe have contributed to the making of this book.

Vol. 2 This volume grew out of research papers presented at the 9th ICORIA (International Conference on Research in Adversiting) which has held at Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain, on June 24-26, 2010. The conference involved advertising, communication, and marketing scholars located all over the world, thereby setting an example of diversity and plurality in our ICORIA community. The goal of this book is breaking new ground in both theory and practice. Each chapter tries to shed light on challenging topics and offer insights that are considerable value for advancing our knowledge.
