This week Alex & Ryan conclude their talk with advertising guru and brand anthropologist Richard Wise, in the second episode of a two-part series where they discuss Éric Rohmer's 1962 film "Le Signe du Lion" (or "Sign of the Lion").

Richard Wise, the creator of the infamous Joe Camel ad campaign, was once denounced as a corrupter of our nation's youth by Bill Clinton. Today he is a brand anthropologist and head of WPP's Geometry Global in London, where he has advised such venerable brands as Bulgari, Dunhill, Ritz-Carlton, and Johnnie Walker. He is also an advisor to the Wharton School of Management's Future of Advertising project. His book Save Your Soul: Work in Advertising: A Cheeky Proposal from America's Most Condemned Adman is available everywhere fine books are sold.
