"Back in the 1890s, being an ad man in New Zealand was a simple case of placing an ad in the paper on behalf of a client. By the 1980s, it was a golden ticket to an exclusive club of fast cars, big bucks and bad behaviour. 'Sell!' takes you on a wild ride through the history of New Zealand advertising and its larger-than-life personalities, from selling the suburban fantasy to power games, overnight acquisitions, lunatic capers and the iconic Kiwi ads that reached giddy heights on the world stage. Legends of the local ad scene recall the glory days of big budgets and bigger egos, and tell the stories behind New Zealand's best-loved campaigns, including the Fernleaf family, Spot the dog and the infamous Bugger ad"--Publisher's information.
