Description
Using applied semiotics, this book shows readers how to leverage the cultural codes that structure communication and sociality, endow things with value, and help us navigate social space and cultural change to solve business problems, foster innovation, and create meaningful experiences for consumers.
The book provides the clearest introduction that I have seen to date of the application of semiotics to branding and the analysis of consumer behaviour. It is packed throughout with well thought-out practical exercises and insightful commentaries that will be widely welcomed by all of those involved in marketing semiotics.
Doing Semiotics is an important practical guide for the student of semiotics. It contains a number of current illuminating cases, exercises, and examples framed from a cultural and ethnographic perspective. It deserves keen attention from the many who can benefit from these semiotic tools, whether in business, design, or non-profit marketing.
Semiotics is central to marketing; few would disagree. But semiotics is also a complex discipline. In this volume, Laura Oswald links the semiotic tools to the most fundamental marketing tasks and also couples it with marketing research techniques. Marketing semiotics for beginners -- in the best sense of the word.
Doing Semiotics is a valuable resource for scholars seeking guidance about the process of semiotics and its application to deciphering marketplace meanings. With contributions from thought leaders like Marcel Danesi, Laura Oswald has put together a rich and useful manual to help readers uncover the fascinating world of cultural signs and their interpretation.
