Brown student’s advertising exhibition – Bradley Burns
This post is part of a series where we’ll be showcasing digital exhibitions created by Brown University students. In the fall of 2011, the American Enterprise team got some welcome assistance from Brown University’s advertising history class. Professor Susan Smulyan, who teaches the university’s popular “American Advertising: History and Consequences” course, agreed to enlist members of the class in an experiment to co-curate the Marketing Moments section of the exhibition. As part of their final exam, we asked students to choose eight to ten images that represented the history of advertising from our collections and pull them together in an exhibit form.

Today’s exhibition is by Bradley Burns of Detroit, Michigan. A junior at Brown University, Brad is working towards a degree in Commerce, Organizations & Entrepreneurship.
