Get Smashed: The Story of the Men Who Made the Adverts that Changed Our Lives

From the 1960s to the 1990s, advertising was transformed from a dry and business-like industry into something exciting, extravagant, and sexy. Learn how advertising came to the forefront of culture with this innovative history featuring insights into the lives and mad times of the advertising revolution’s key figures, including Alan Parker, David Puttnam, and Ridley Scott. These figures changed what we ate, how we dressed ,and who we voted for and celebrated it all with fast cars, private jets, and plenty of champagne. Investigating what was bought and — more importantly — how it was sold, this is a look at advertising as it had never been before, and has never been since.
