Jim Morris has been responsible for some of the most memorable ad campaigns in history. He knows best that bad ads don't just create themselves. Part indictment on the advertising industry, part cautionary tale on what not to do with your ads, Jim pulls no punches to better ad people everywhere.

How can the ad industry even exist when almost all of the products that it produces fall on a continuum from flawed to failed? What is it about this industry and the process of creating, selling, and producing ads that causes so much advertising to be so bad?

These are the questions answered in Badvertising. A provocative, truth-to-power expose of ad agencies' flaws, foibles, and failings-and why they matter to the consumer and to those in the business. Morris, an advertising legend known as "Tagline Jim," surveys myriad advertising "agents of stupidity." Hilarious, horrifying, and insightful, each chapter is a grenade lobbed into America's ad bunkers.

Badvertising is a candid, never-seen-before accumulation of real-world don'ts and more don'ts, providing valuable cautionary tales of advertising's stupid side.

Industry Reviews

"How many ads have you seen that made you question the intelligence of whomever designed it? Probably too many. If every ad person read Badvertising the world would be a more intelligent and prosperous place."
--Jonah Berger, New York Times bestselling author of Contagious and The Catalyst
