Barbara Lippert is the award-winning advertising critic for Adweek. For nearly twenty years, she has written a weekly ad critique, reviewing a campaign much as a movie or book critic would, looking at it through the prism of pop culture, and from a human rather than agency or client perspective. Readers have called her work "insightful," 'funny" and "'@@**@*@&!!!!"' A much sought-after voice of advertising analysis for both the industry and the media, Lippert is a frequent TV guest, and has been the advertising contributor the CBS "Early Show'' and has appeared on CBS Sunday Morning, Oprah, 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper's 360, and Charlie Rose, among others
