`Advertising Cultures is a lucid, thorough and highly engaging account of advertising creatives that unlocks two crucial issues for understanding the culture industries: creativity and gender. It marks a major new contribution to the cultural study of economic life′ – Don Slater, London School of Economics
The economic and cultural role of the `creative industries′ has gained a new prominence and centrality in recent years. This new salience is explored here through the most emblematic creative industry: advertising.
Advertising Cultures also marks a significant contribution to the study of gender and of commercial cultures through its detailing of the way gender is written into the creative cultures of advertising and into the subjective identities of its key practitioners.
