“While most advertising firms of the 1950s were notoriously business minded and practical in orientation, [the 1960s] fostered a new, unconventional, anti-authoritarian attitude among advertisers that was expressed in less hierarchical workplaces; the embrace of young talent; and ever the sartorial choices of advertising artists who traded in their gray flannel suits for dashikis, love beads, and jeans. So, too, these younger, hipper advertisers extolled the virtues of rock ‘n’ roll music, smoked marijuana, and some even recommended LSD as a tonic for visual discovery.”
