Facing the Advertising Noise

Ad from Viz, issue 52, February / March 1992 (pg. 21).

We face a lot of advertising. All the time. According to Martin Lindstrom, the author of Brandwashed, “the average American 3-year-old can recognize 100 brands” (NPR Staff, 2011). I usually discuss advertising at the same time as we’re talking about propaganda.

Guy Raz has an excellent interview with Lindstrom on All Things Considered.
