    The first two paragraphs sound as if you'd love "99 francs" (novel or movie, the movie captures the novel quite well IMO). It's about the topic of marketing and advertisement from the perpective of a creative producing advertisements (with lots of drama and sex for the story)

    Banky's quote reminds me of the movie "99 francs" (2007), which is I think a brilliant take on the world of advertising.
