I can't remember the author or title of this book. The main character however is an advertising executive who ends up in a different world.
Its main identifying feature of magic there from what I recall was that magic is performed through words and intent - but each combination of words with intent can only be used once. Once a phrase had been used, it could never be used to repeat that magic. As such, the main character could use magic in ways even the magic users of the world could not with his ingenious ways to describe a specific item he needed at a particular time.
The novel is at least 20 years old, possibly older.
