Product Description
Synopsis
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.

By Mr. K. J. O'connor (LONDON United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Bought the book, devoured the book,loved the book! A fascinating and extraordinary little tale of a vibrant and exciting time, tinged with more than a little mania and extreme passions, detailing the rapid rise of British advertising creativity to global dominance.
