- 8 Want to read
"From the first newspaper ad in colonial times to Web sites for advertisers, Soap, Sex, and Cigarettes explores advertising's integral role in both reflecting and shaping American life and how advertising has become a part of our personal habits with roots in popular culture as well as in the popular mind." "Sivulka, both an advertising educator and a practicing professional, emphasizes advertising's greatest contribution - how it provides a way for society to learn about an endless stream of new products and in the process, how it shapes what we think, feel, and want."--BOOK JACKET.

Work Description
SOAP, SEX AND CIGARETTES examines how American advertising both mirrors society and creates it. From the first newspaper advertisement in colonial times to today's online viral advertising, the text explores how advertising grew in America, how products and brands were produced and promoted, and how advertisements and agencies reflect and introduce cultural trends and issues. The threads of art, industry, culture, and technology unify the work. The text is chronological in its organization and is lavishly illustrated with advertisements.
