" We are a global network of artists, activists, writers,
pranksters, students, educators and entrepreneurs
who want to advance the new social activist movement
of the information age. Our aim is to topple existing
power structures and forge a major shift in the way we
will live in the 21st century."
To this end, Adbusters Media Foundation publishes
Adbusters magazine, operates this website and offers
its creative services through PowerShift, our advocacy
advertising agency.
ADBUSTERS MAGAZINE
Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada,
Adbusters is a not-for-profit, reader-supported,
120,000-circulation magazine concerned about
the erosion of our physical and cultural environments
by commercial forces. Our work has been embraced by
organizations like Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace,
has been featured in hundreds of alternative and
mainstream newspapers, magazines, and television
and radio shows around the world.
While two-thirds of Adbusters' readers reside in the
United States, the magazine has subscribers in 60 other
countries, with one of the most diverse readerships of
any publication. Our readers are professors and students;
activists and politicians; environmentalists and media
professionals; corporate watch dogs and industry insiders;
kids who love our slick ad parodies and parents who worry
about their children logging too many hours a day in the
electronic environment.
Adbusters offers incisive philosophical articles as well
as activist commentary from around the world addressing
issues ranging from genetically modified foods to media
concentration.
In addition, our annual social marketing campaigns like
Buy Nothing Day and TV Turnoff Week have made us an
important activist networking group. Ultimately, though,
Adbusters is an ecological magazine, dedicated to examining
the relationship between human beings and their physical
and mental environment.
We want a world in which the economy and ecology resonate
in balance. We try to coax people from spectator to participant
in this quest. We want folks to get mad about corporate
disinformation, injustices in the global economy, and any
industry that pollutes our physical or mental commons.
