Synopsis
Both eclipsed and influenced by television, American print ads of the 1970s departed from the bold, graphic forms and subtle messages that were typical of their sixties counterparts. More literal, more in-your-face, 70s ads sought to capture the attention of a public accustomed to blaring, to-the-point TV commercials.
All was not lost, though; as ads are a sign of the times, racial and ecological awareness crept into everything from cigarette to car advertisements, reminding Americans that everyday products were hip to the modern age. In an attempt to discover how best to communicate with a mass audience, marketing specialists studied focus groups with furious determination, thus producing such dumbed-down gems as "sisters are different from brothers," the slogan used for an African-American hair product. By the end of the decade, however, print ads had begun to recoup, gaining in originality and creativity as they focused on target audiences through carefully chosen placement in smaller publications.
A fascinating study of mass culture dissemination in a post-hippie, television-obsessed nation, this weighty volume delivers an exhaustive and nostalgic overview of 70s advertising.

From the Back Cover
Eclipsados e influidos por la televisión, en Estados Unidos los anuncios impresos de la década de 1970 se alejaron de las formas gráficas atrevidas y de los mensajes sutiles típicos de los sesenta. Los anuncios de los setenta, más literales y directos, buscaban captar la atención de un público acostumbrado a la estridente publicidad de la televisión.Pero no todo estaba perdido. Los anuncios son un signo de los tiempos, y la conciencia racial y ecológica se infiltró en todo, desde los cigarrillos hasta los anuncios de automóviles, para recordar a los estadounidenses que los productos cotidianos propios de la era moderna. En un intento por descubrir la mejor manera de comunicarse con las masas, los especialistas en marketing estudiaron los grupos de público objetivo con furiosa determinación, lo que dio pie a joyas del humor involuntarias como ?las hermanas son diferentes de los hermanos?, lema utilizado en un producto para el cabello afroamericano. Sin embargo, a finales de la década, la publicidad impresa había empezado a recuperarse y a ganar en originalidad y creatividad a medida que se enfocaba en los públicos objetivo con una presencia cuidadosamente elegida en publicaciones más pequeñas.Este contundente volumen, un estudio fascinante de la difusión de la cultura de masas en una nación post hippie obsesionada con la televisión, ofrece una visión exhaustiva y nostálgica de la publicidad de la década de 1970.
