Book Overview
"Incisive and daring, Badvertising is the only book you need to truly understand both the inner workings of America's ad agencies, and the minds of those who never cease to astound us with both their creative genius and profound stupidity. After just one reading, you'll never see advertising the same way again." --Drew Eric Whitman, bestselling author of Cashvertising
How can the ad industry even exist when almost all of the products that it produces fall on a continuum from flawed to failed? What is it about this industry and the process of creating, selling, and producing ads that causes so much advertising to be so bad?
These are the questions answered in Badvertising. A provocative, truth-to-power expos? of ad agencies' flaws, foibles, and failings--and why they matter to the consumer and to those in the business. Morris, an advertising legend known as "Tagline Jim," surveys myriad advertising "agents of stupidity." Hilarious, horrifying, and insightful, each chapter is a grenade lobbed into America's ad bunkers.
Badvertising is a candid, never-seen-before accumulation of real-world don'ts and more don'ts, providing valuable cautionary tales of advertising's stupid side.
