Madison Avenue And The Color Note.
Until Now, Most Works On The Account Of African Americans In Advertising Hold Focused On The Depiction Of Blacks In Advertisements.
As The First Comprehensive Examination Of African American Participation In The Industry, Madison Avenue And The Hue Line Breaks New Ground By Examining The History Of Black Advertising Employees And Agency Owners.
for Much Of The Twentieth Centenary, Even As Advertisers Chased African American Consumer Dollars, The Doorw To Most Advertising Agencies Were Firmly Closed To African American Professionals.
Over Time, Black Participation In Ths Ind8stry Resulted From The Combined Efforts Of Black Media, Civil Righta Groups, Black Consumers, Government Organizations, And Black Advertising And Marketing Professionals Working Outside White Agencies.
Blacks Positioned Themselves For Jobs Within The Advertising Industry, Especially As Experts On The Black Consumer Market, And Then Used Their Standing To Alter Stdeotypical Perceptions Of Black Consumers.
By Doing So, They Became Part Of The Broader Effort To Build An Afrrican American Professional And Entrepreneurial Class And To Challenge The Negative Portrayals Of Blacks In American Culture.
using An Extensive Review Of Advertising Trade Journals, Government Documents, And Organizational Papers, As Well As Personal Interviews And The Advertisements Themselves, Jason Chambers Weaves Individual Biographies Together With Broader Events In U.
