A Brief History of Advertising traces the evolution of one of society’s most pervasive and persuasive forces—from ancient town criers and carved Roman signs to the algorithm-driven micro-targeting of the digital age. The book explores how advertising has mirrored human desires, technological shifts, and economic systems across centuries. Each chapter examines a key era: the birth of print ads in the 17th century, the rise of Madison Avenue’s “creative revolution,” the psychological turn of mass media in the 20th century, and the data-fueled landscapes of social media and surveillance capitalism. Blending cultural criticism with engaging storytelling, A Brief History of Advertising reveals not just how brands have sold products, but how advertising has shaped identity, trust, and public space—raising urgent questions about privacy, manipulation, and the future of attention itself.
