55 years ago, on October 1 1968, the first brand advertising spot appeared on the French television screen. Over the next three decades, thousands of creative little films would seduce and build our collective memory.

Thierry Ardisson has brought together almost 400 advertising clips to relive the era of the conquest of minds and wallets.
