NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2017 — The first museum dedicated to celebrating the global advertising industry has been founded in New York City. Exhibits will feature historical works of all mediums to explore the intersection of creativity, culture and commerce.
“The advertising industry is constantly focused on the future, and our changing media landscape. What we don’t do as well is preserve the work which is so ephemeral, and recognize the innovations made in communication, design, and media.” Museum Founding Director Glenn Pajarito said. “Advertising also transcends commercial marketing and has influenced product innovations, influenced politics, shaped cultural trends, educated and entertained over generations across the world.”
The nonprofit organization is currently in planning stages, working with members of the advertising community and consumer brands on various items including fundraising, sponsorships and building the museum collection.
