The Conquest of Cool

Book • 1997
The Conquest of Cool explores how the advertising industry during the 1960s transformed by embracing counterculture, turning it into a marketing tool that fueled consumerism.

Frank argues that this shift was not merely a co-optation but a strategic move by advertisers to redefine consumer culture.

The book provides a detailed history of advertising's evolution and its impact on American society.
