A thrilling and irreverent memoir about the transformation of the Advertising business from the 1980s to today Richard Kirshenbaum was born to sell.
Packed with business insight, marketing wisdom, and a cast of characters ranging from Princess Diana to Ed Mc Mahon, this memoir is as bold, as breathtaking, and as delightful as Richard himself..
They were the bad boys of Madison Avenue-a firm where a skateboarding employee once bowled over an important client-but backed up their madness with results.
Kirshenbaum and Bond pioneered guerilla marketing by purchasing ad space on fruit, spray-painting slogans on the sidewalk, and hiring actors to order the Hennessy martini in nightclubs.
In 1987, at the age of twenty-six, Richard put his savings on the line to launch his own agency with partner Jonathan Bond, and within a year, had transformed it from a no-name firm into the go-to house for cutting-edge work.
He had no connections when he came to Madison Avenue, but he possessed an outrageous sense of humor that would make him a millionaire.
Raised in a family of Long Island strivers, this future Advertising titan was just a few years old when his grandfather first taught him that a Cadillac is more than a car, and that if you can\'t have a Trinitron you might as well not watch TV.
