Traditional advertising is slowly becoming a mildly outdated field, especially with the amount of social marketing, virality and speed of online consumption. I'm sure you can find the traditional ways of advertising on wikipedia, but what I personally find interesting are the shifts in traditional advertising and the borrowing of techniques from marketing and public relations. Story telling is coming back and it's more prevalent in advertising then ever before. Take a look at the adverts W+K created for the Olympic for Procter and Gamble or Nike. A lot of controversy, but ultimately inspiring stories that portray the brand image and values. Stories that capture the essence of the company, but at the same time captivate you turning away your attention from the fact that you are being advertised to. Many advertising agencies naturally follow those trends. Story telling in advertising is becoming more of a common practice these days, so I suspect that there's going to be another shift soon.
