I think it's supposed to read that way as I believe this is Serazio's dissertation.
This is an awesomely informative book for those both in and out of "the know" of advertising and guerrilla tactics. The material goes into depth in a way that's easy understand, and it's, eerily so, easy to see the real-to-life application.

Review quote "Come , not only is it hard to think of 'rebellious cool' without a major brand sponsorship: It requires a masterful scalpel to prise apart the self-sealing seams of 'culture for sale' today, and former journalist and current academic Michael Serazio rises to the challenge magnificently As a book that mixes real case studies from the trenches of new media promotion with critical theory, Your Ad Here is as welcome for scholars of advertising as it is timely.
This former journalist and assistant professor in the department of communication at Fairfield University uses the term 'guerilla' as a war metaphor to describe marketing's new attempt at virtual invisibility Serazio enlists Che Guevara, Michel Foucault, the Frankfurt School, and a variety of media studies theorists to fight for his cause Are new audience members 'empowered' to choose their brand exposure?
Or are marketers using us? The book ends on a cautionary note, with a warning that, despite the concerns of the ad men and women, they still have the upper hand in this newest fight for hearts and minds. It does offer many timely observations on recent efforts by marketers to use unconventional methods to sell their products and services to consumers. In addition to scholarly sources, Serazio's broad reliance on trade and the popular press supports many detailed examples that emphasize his arguments and enhance readability.
The numerous insightful and extended quotes sprinkled throughout the text were drawn from 46 semistructured, in-depth telephone interviews with prominent practitioners, creatives, executives, trade journalists, and other relevant professionals who are knowledgeable about guerrilla marketing campaigns.
Chapters 4 and 5 will be particularly interesting to practitioners in this field. General readers, students at all levels, researchers, faculty, and professionals.
It deserves a wide readership among scholars and students alike. And since, as Serazio points out, the whole point of guerrilla marketing is to become invisible, this book is a must read for anyone engaging in media literacy education.
It is a valuable addition to the field of media studies. It is exactly because of this that we become blind to the subtle seductions of contemporary commercial culture-and Michael Serazio is here to open our eyes.
