Adam Curtis on Madison Avenue and the creative revolution

It’s been a while since I’ve updated the blog, but I’m determined to get it back on track after a hectic few months. I’ve been relocating to Falmouth to start my course in Creative Advertising. I read this fascinating post from Adam Curtis a while ago. He’s one of the most interesting commentators around on consumer culture, mass media, and its effects on society. If you haven’t heard of the guy he’s done some great, award winning documentaries for the BBC – check out The Power of Nightmares and Century of Self. It’s eye opening stuff.
