250 essential terms in advertising and marketing

250 essential terms in advertising and marketing

In advertising companies (especially international 4A), it is very common and normal to mix English words in speech. Many people outside the circle like to make fun of this special way of speaking, thinking that speaking like this is deliberately to appear prestige. In fact, most advertisers just do it out of habit and job needs. The following two sentences clearly show the difference between "habit" and "pretending to be cool": Habit "Before thinking about the brand slogan, you need to find out what the core insight is" Pretending to be cool "Before think about the brand slogan, you need to find out what the core insight is" There are three main reasons for the formation of this habit: First, when the domestic advertising industry was just starting out, advertising theories and methods all came from overseas countries, and some professional terms were difficult to accurately convey their meanings if they were directly translated into Chinese;

Secondly, the initial batch of advertising practitioners mainly came from foreign countries and Hong Kong and Taiwan, so it would be more convenient and efficient to express some professional terms directly in English during communication.

In addition, with the popularization of digital advertising, more and more professional marketing vocabulary is used in the Internet field, and these vocabulary are usually abbreviations of the first letters of English words.

The following is a collection of 250 English words that appear most frequently in advertising companies, including three categories: "company job titles", "professional terminology" and "daily communication terms". If your English is not that good or you have just entered the industry, it is recommended that you save them directly!
