The Industry That Forgot Its Own History
A confession sits at the heart of modern advertising: nobody truly knows how it works. This isn't whispered in back rooms-it's the central argument of a book now required reading at Google and Facebook. What makes this revelation particularly unsettling is its source. Paul Feldwick isn't an academic critic lobbing grenades from the ivory tower. He spent three decades as a strategist at one of London's most celebrated agencies, crafting campaigns that actually worked. His insider status makes the indictment devastating: the profession that claims to understand human behavior may be the one most deluded by its own myths. We've spent over a century confidently prescribing formulas while suffering from collective amnesia about our past.
