David S. Waller, Michael Jay Polonsky

Abstract

This article examines Australian advertising agency executives' attitudes towards political advertising and political accounts. The study examined a sample of 101 advertising agency executives from Australia's 300 largest agencies to determine why some Australian agencies refuse to accept political accounts. The results, combined with comments from various advertising agency executives, have provided a number of suggestions for agencies planning to obtain or keep their existing political accounts.
