Advertising Council of German Industry

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Advertising Council of German Industry (German: Werberat der deutschen Wirtschaft) was a panel established by the Law of Commercial Advertising of 12 September 1933. Composed of knowledgeable representatives of business, it had a mandate to oversee all publicity, posters, exhibits, fairs, and advertising. The council members were appointed by the Propaganda Ministry, which thereby secured control over the content and format of all advertising campaigns. These had to be submitted to and approved by the council.
