Art and Advertising

There are a number of people that I would like to thank for helping me get this book off the ground. In the early stages of my research, several people from the advertising industry generously gave their time and helped me to find my bearings in relation to attitudes and approaches in contemporary advertising. These include: Kate Stanners (Saatchi & Saatchi), David Beverley (Leo Burnett), Jerry Ketel (Leopold Ketel & Partners), Mikhal Reich (Mad Dogs and Englishmen), Mike Byrne, Eric Johnson and Strom Tharp (all Wieden+Kennedy) and Natalie Clark (Gerngross and Clark). Equally helpful were the meetings I had with individuals and organisations whose work, in one way or another, connects with the advertising world: Tony Kaye (independent advertising creative, film-maker and artist), Milton Glaser (Milton Glaser Inc.), Victoria Fry (Portland Institute of Contemporary Art) and Catherine Coleman of the American Advertising Museum, Portland.
