爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
The advertising of these books keenly sharpened the publicity sense of the developing advertising director. One book could best be advertised by the conventional means of the display advertisement; another, like Triumphant Democracy, was best served by sending out to the newspapers a "broadside" of pungent extracts; public curiosity in a novel like The Lady, or the Tiger? was, of course, whetted by the publication of literary notes as to the real denouement the author had in mind in writing the story. Whenever Mr. Stockton came into the office Bok pumped him dry as to his experiences with the story, such as when, at a dinner party, his hostess served an ice-cream lady and a tiger to the author, and the whole company watched which he chose.

白话
博克在推广图书时，会针对不同书的特点选择不同的宣传方式：有的书适合用展示广告，有的书适合向报纸发送辛辣摘录的“传单”，而像《女士，还是老虎？》这样的小说，则通过发布作者原本设想的结局的文学笔记来勾起公众好奇。他还常向作者斯托克顿打听创作趣事，比如晚宴上女主人端上冰淇淋做的女士和老虎，众人看他选哪个。这告诉我们，有效的推广不是一套模板用到底，而是先判断产品特性，再匹配最能引发讨论的渠道和故事，并主动挖掘幕后细节来制造话题。
