This publication provides a thematic overview of the evolution of advertising around the world over the past thirty years, charting influences from the political and social upheavals of the 1960s to the influence of the Internet in the 1990s. Each chapter includes an interview with a key figure in advertising including Italy̕s Oliviero Toscani of the controversial Benetton campaigns, American comedian and American-Express spokesperson Jerry Seinfeld, and British adman John Hegarty of Bartle Boyle Hegarty, creator of the world-famous Levi̕s ads. In analysing specific advertisements, the book simultaneously acts as a history of sorts of global pop culture and a record of the social, cultural, and geo-political temperature-changes that affect our image-saturated environment.
