Over the past 30 years, Saatchi & Saatchi, a globally recognized communications firm, has crafted some of the most impactful advertising campaigns focused on social issues. Their innovative and often provocative public awareness efforts tackle critical topics such as child abuse, road safety, sexually transmitted diseases, war, racism, drugs, torture, contraception, censorship, and environmental concerns.
This volume offers a comprehensive retrospective of Saatchi & Saatchi's most effective cause-related advertising across print and broadcast media. It features over 100 advertisements, many of which have received prestigious awards. Among the highlighted campaigns are early works like Flies on Food (food safety) and Scrub Your Lungs (smoking), alongside more recent efforts like Brains (racism) and the striking Raped as a 3-Year-Old poster, which made waves in London's Underground with its direct message against sexual abuse. Another notable piece, The Only Fur I'm Not Ashamed to Wear, stirred controversy in Italy with its bold imagery of a naked model.
These advertisements aim not only to shock but also to spark meaningful conversations about pressing societal issues. With their creative vision and contemporary approach, Saatchi & Saatchi's campaigns serve as a powerful reminder of advertising's potential to inform and inspire change in the world.
"We have to replace beauty, which is a cultural concept, with goodness, which is a humanist concept." – Philippe StarckPhilippe Starck wants to bring love and happiness into your life by designing objects, environments, and appliances that will brighten your days. He spent his childhood under his father's drawing boards, sawing, cutting, gluing, and sanding, dismantling bikes, motorcycles and other objects. Several years and several prototypes later, he has changed life at the French presidential palace, the Italians have asked him to renew the notion of furniture, and he has turned the Royalton and Paramount in New York into the first classics of the new hotel world.Starck's overwhelming international success and cult-star status are proof that people everywhere are receptive to his kindhearted philosophy and distinctive aesthetic sensibility. The democratic design projects that he has undertaken with Target (USA) and j/ii (Japan), as well as the TASCHEN bookshops in Paris and Los Angeles and the Bon restaurant chain, are among the projects included in this volume that traces the entire career of today's foremost design superhero.
