This course examines the history of advertising with a focus on the rise of deliberately designed, strategically placed commercial messages and the growth of advertising agencies. As hubs for the ongoing innovation of creative services, media targeting practices, and consumer research methods, ad agencies embedded messages in the objects and routines of everyday life while also colonizing successive waves of new media. The result was a new way of life that was centered on the identification, differentiation, and consumption of brands.
