Adland
Adland
Searching for the Meaning of Life on a Branded Planet
By James P. Othmer
Adland digs deep into what advertising means – to the people who work in it, to the Internet gurus, to the rest of us who consume advertising. It is about the nature of the vocation and the reincarnation of a multi-billion dollar industry in the information age.
The chapter entitled “Idea Factories” chronicles unique advertising agencies such as 42 Entertainment, Toy New York, Fahrenheit 212, Droga5 as well as BBDO, Goodby, Silverstein & Partners, and Time Warner Global Media Group.
