Description

Massaging the Consumer
The digital future of ads in the extravagant 1980s
With the cold war ebbing, crime and inflation at record levels, and movie star-turned-President Ronald Reagan launching a Star Wars of his own, the 1980s did not seem likely to become one of the most outrageous, flamboyant, and prosperous decades of the 20th century. The greed is good mantra on Wall Street spawned the power-dressing, exercise-obsessed Me Generation of Yuppies. The art world enjoyed the influx of capital; computers and video games ruled in the office and at home; and the Rubik s cube craze swept the nation. Leg warmers were big, shoulder pads were bigger and hair was biggest of all.

Whether your heart warms nostalgically at the memory of E.T. and marathon Trivial Pursuit sessions; if you think Ghostbusters and break dancing are totally awesome, this book s for you. To all those who still hear the echoes of I want my MTV : All-American Ads of the 80s will leave you ready to reach out and touch someone. So just do it!
