Season Five.
"Diversity in Advertising"
Airs Saturday June 18th and Thursday June 23rd, 2011.
This week, The Age of Persuasion looks at Diversity in Advertising. We'll trace the emergence of the minority market, the failure of Madison Avenue to recognize the spending power of that growing consumer base, and the struggles that people of colour had to be acknowledged as valued consumers. We'll also feature the first ads aimed at minorities, the first minority spokespeople, and the pioneers who broke ground.
It's a story that parallels the fight for equality, and how advertising played a critical role in civil rights.

"Terry's Book Club"
Airs Saturday June 11th and Thursday June 16th, 2011.
This week, the Age of Persuasion invites you to our Book Club. I'll be telling stories from my favourite advertising books, and I'll examine the incredible lessons within their pages that have served me well over my entire career. By the way, a few of those books aren't even about advertising. In fact, one is a book about science, and another is about theatre actors.
But each one contains incredible wisdom that can be applied directly to the world of advertising and marketing.
And everyday life, I may add.
Hope you'll join us.
