Behind Glass Doors: The World of Australian Advertising Agencies 1959-1989 [Paperback] Crawford, Robert

Australian advertising from 1959 to 1989 was pure theatre — whisky-soaked lunches, creative genius sparked at 3am, and campaigns that shaped how an entire country saw itself. Robert Crawford was there for all of it, working his way through the legendary agencies that turned brands into household names and made fortunes doing it. This is the insider's account of that golden era: the egos, the brilliance, the backstabbing, and the sheer adrenaline of an industry before focus groups neutered everything. Crawford writes with the wit of someone who knows where all the bodies are buried and isn't afraid to dig them up. If you've ever wondered how advertising actually worked when it mattered, or you just love a good behind-the-scenes story about creative mavericks and corporate warfare, this is your ticket behind the glass doors.
