Product Description
Product Description
Between the 1960s and the 1980s some of the most influential men in the country spent most of the day in the pub and got paid more than the Prime Minister.
They were responsible for transforming a lifeless advertising industry into something exciting and extravagant. They came up with the idea of selling lifestyles. They changed what we ate, how we dressed and who we voted for and celebrated with fast cars, private jets and champagne.
GET SMASHED is a story of ambition, obsession and excess and how the ads that began by reflecting British culture came to define it.
