Seidels Reklame (German: Seidel's Advertising) was a German advertising trade and graphic art magazine which was in circulation between 1913 and 1942. It was based in Berlin, Germany.
History and profile[edit]
Seidels Reklame was founded by Wilhelm Seidel in Berlin in 1913.[1][2] The first editor was Robert Hösel, and its subtitle was Das Blatt der Praxis.[1] From May 1935 the magazine was renamed as Werben und Verkaufen (German: Advertising and Selling) and published until this title until its closure in 1942.[1]
Seidels Reklame covered articles about the developments in advertising and relevant legal issues, including chicanery and plagiarism.[3] During the Weimar Republic it supported the use of advertisements in which modern, independent and provocative women were featured.[4] It is one of the earliest German publications which used the term public relations in 1937.[5] One of the contributors was Julius Pinschewer who stressed the significant roles of the advertising films in attracting consumers.[6] Robert Hösel also published articles describing experiments on the optimal color combinations to produce the most effective contrast between text and background on posters.[7]
