Specifically in Brazilian advertising, and taking into account that professionalization in this field was articulated with the expansion and consolidation of the biggest North American publicity agencies in Latin America between the 1930s and 1960s, this research focuses on analyzing the contribution of the North American publicity agency McCann-Erickson in developing the advertising field. Assuming the hypothesis that there is a particularity in the Brazilian experience of McCann, this research demonstrates how the sociology of professions, added to the theory of construction of fields, can be applied to study of the consolidation of publicity as a unique professional community. This research also demonstrates how the historical contexts of creation of the Brazilian and the North American advertising fields intertwine with the trajectory of the agency McCann-Erickson in Brazil. Finally, this research also analyzes the mechanisms and the specific capitals operated by this agency in order to assert its dominant position in the Brazilian advertising field. / A presente dissertação tem como tema a profissionalização do campo publicitário. Em se tratando do campo publicitário brasileiro especificamente, e levando em consideração que a profissionalização desse campo esteve devidamente articulada com a expansão e consolidação das grandes agências publicitárias americanas na América Latina, entre as décadas de 1930 e 1960, a pesquisa tem como foco analisar a contribuição da agência publicitária americana McCann-Erickson para o desenvolvimento do mesmo. Partindo da hipótese de que há uma particularidade inerente à experiência brasileira da McCann, a pesquisa mostra como o aporte teórico da Sociologia das Profissões, somado à teoria de construção de campo, podem ser aplicados no estudo da consolidação da Publicidade como uma comunidade profissional única, seguido pela demonstração de como os contextos históricos de criação dos campos publicitários americano e brasileiro se entrelaçam com a trajetória da agência McCann-Erickson em solo brasileiro, e terminando com a análise dos mecanismos e capitais específicos acionados pela agência em questão para a afirmação de seu posicionamento como polo dominante dentro do campo publicitário brasileiro.

If you move from Sweden to Portugal to work as an Art Director at an Ad agency, there are certain things you ought to know. Perhaps even before you decide to move. There are a lot of things that are quite different if you compare Portugal to Sweden, not only the language, but also the design, software, working hours and much more. You have for example two month with double salary, you work till six p.m. and when it comes to maternity leave, you have 100% compensation with no taxes the first four months of every pregnancy. The tasks you have to handle as an Art Director in Portugal may, as in Sweden, be various. The difference is more how you solve your task and what the design looks like. As a Swede in Portugal the solution will probably look like a mixture between the Portuguese “expressive” and the Swedish “clean” design. This degree project discusses questions that might turn up when a Swede gets employed as an Art Director in Portugal. What will the salary be? When, in the morning, is it time to show up at the office? How many weeks of vacations are entitled? There are a lot of distinctions, but also a lot of similarities. The report is mainly based upon the author’s own experiences of the Ad agency McCann-Erickson in Lisbon. The history of McCann-Erickson starts in New York, 1930 and grew rapidly into one of the leading corporation with agencies all over the world. It is still today one of the world’s largest Ad company with clients like Coca-Cola and General Motors, and the slogan “truth well told” still lights up all their agencies after almost a century, just like a leading star.
