Moss

Everyone gets to live one life, but somehow Charlie Moss lived many—with stunning success. From his early days as a child actor, starring in the 1953 Oscar-nominated film Little Fugitive to his decades-spanning career as the visionary behind many of America’s most iconic advertising campaigns, Moss was indefatigable, with a brilliant, creative mind and a cadre of collaborators who, together, created a culture-defining era.

Whether you work in advertising, or just consume it, Moss is a must-read memoir by an industry pioneer. A heartfelt and lighthearted window into a world before AI-generated slogans and social media feeds. To a time when the Brooklyn-born son of a shyster— with hunger, talent, and humour could become something his dad always wanted to be: a millionaire. But more than that: have fun, and find the love of his life, doing it.
