    Description

    The Museum of Brands is delighted to present An Evening Talk with Sam Delaney on his new book Mad Men and Bad Men: What Happened When British Politics Met Advertising as a part of the Museums at Night weekend.

    Sam Delaney, a writer who has dabbled in the murky world of both politics and advertising, will be talking about his dark, revealing and frequently hilarious new book Mad Men and Bad Men: What Happened When British Politics Met Advertising.

    This is a hugely entertaining behind-the-scenes tour of the election campaigns of the last four decades which examines how a bunch of unelected, unaccountable admen ended up running British politics.

    Everything is here - the moment Margaret Thatcher met the Saatchi brothers, the famous 'Labour Isn't Working' poster and the infamous 'Demon Eyes' campaign. Here, too, are the stories they didn't want you to hear: the man who snorted coke in Number 10, the fist-fights in Downing Street, the all-day champagne binges in Westminster.

    6pm Museum opens with cash bar

    7-8pm Talk and chance for questions

    8-9pm Chance to peruse the Museum

    Sam Delaney is a writer for the Telegraph, the Guardian, The Big Issue and numerous others. He has made documentaries for the BBC and Channel 4 and presents radio shows on BBC London and Talksport. He is the author of two previous books: Get Smashed! The story of the men who made the ads that changed our lives and Night Of The Living Dad: Confessions of A Shabby Father. He is the former editor of Heat magazine and current editor in chief of Comedy Central UK.

    All funds raised from this event will contribute to the sustainability of our educational Museum charity.
