James P. Othmer came to our attention with his first novel, The Futurist. He joined us a couple years back for an hour in studio to talk about the book.
James has now written a highly entertaining look at his career in the advertising business, including a stint as Creative Director at mega firm Young & Rubicam. James is a terrific writer, incredibly witty and funny. He tells some great stories about the creative process, clients and office dynamics. He also takes a look forward, at the future of advertsing itself. Like the political world we love so much, advertising has been turned on its head by new digital technologies.
This is an excellent read and reminds us of just how under assault we are each and every day by advertising images. This is a great look behind the curtain.
