Obsessed: Ad World Rants from a Real-Life Mad Man

by Dave Dumanis

A close-up glimpse of the belly of the beast in a business where stupidity, superficiality, and mindless toil rule the American advertising. OBSESSED skewers clients, agency heads, in-house tyrants, navel-gazing writers, stuck-up art directors, backstabbing account executives, and pretty much everybody else. Find out why you should never, never get into advertising—unless you absolutely can't stay away.
