Othmer, advertising executive turned novelist, gives us a hilarious, personal, and sneakily profound chronicle of the past, present, and future of the advertising business.  On one level it’s the wickedly funny, compelling personal chronicle of the rise and fall of a modern-day ad man; a riveting insider’s look at the astonishing transformation taking place in advertising's hottest idea factories.  But take a step back from the tales of lavish shoots, agencies on the brink, and pampered mega-brands and \u003ci\u003eAdland\u003c\/i\u003e becomes much more: a snapshot of how we are living our lives thirty seconds at a time.  Funny, deeply thoughtful, and utterly unique, this book is both a wildly amusing ride in \u003ci\u003eAdland\u003c\/i\u003e, brilliantly recounted, and an exploration of the value of life in the information age.","brand":"Anchor","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43350832709887,"sku":"9780767928977","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780767928977_s600x595.jpg?v=1775585469","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9780767928977","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
