Advertising is riddled with myths and misunderstandings. It is simultaneously believed to be both immensely powerful and immensely wasteful, to increase economic prosperity and to be morally questionable. Neither its historic origins nor its modern operations are well understood. Many of these myths and misunderstandings are almost as widespread within the advertising industry – itself something of a myth, as we shall see – as they are among the public at large. This short book, written by someone with extensive knowledge of advertising from the inside, corrects and clarifi es the misunderstandings that are so common.
