Robert H. Levenson, a Visionary Adman, Dies at 83

Robert H. Levenson, a Visionary Adman, Dies at 83 | A Cultural History of Advertising | Scoop.it
Mr. Levenson was an advertising executive who helped produce some of the mid-20th century’s most memorable campaigns for clients like Volkswagen, El Al and Sara Lee.

"Everybody doesn’t like something/ But nobody doesn’t like Sara Lee,”

It makes your house look bigger”

"“When he was asked how he wrote the copy for all those Volkswagen ads,” Mr. Imseng recalled on Thursday, “he said: ‘I always started by writing Dear Charlie, like writing to a friend. And then I would say what I had to say, and at the end I would cross out Dear Charlie, and I was all right.’ ”

Documentary Women Who Make America

Documentary Women Who Make America | A Cultural History of Advertising | Scoop.it

"MAKERS: Women Who Make America tells the remarkable story of the most sweeping social revolution in American history, as women have asserted their rights to a full and fair share of political power, economic opportunity, and personal autonomy. It’s a revolution that has unfolded in public and private, in courts and Congress, in the boardroom and the bedroom, changing not only what the world expects from women, but what women expect from themselves. MAKERS brings this story to life with priceless archival treasures and poignant, often funny interviews with those who led the fight, those who opposed it, and those first generations to benefit from its success. Trailblazing women like Hillary Rodham Clinton, Ellen DeGeneres and Oprah Winfrey share their memories, as do countless women who challenged the status quo in industries from coal-mining to medicine. MAKERS captures with music, humor, and the voices of the women who lived through these turbulent times the dizzying joy, aching frustration and ultimate triumph of a movement that turned America upside-down.
