Teenage Kicks: Finding the Teenage Consumer is a pop-up exhibition from the History of Advertising Trust (HAT), the world's largest archive of UK advertising, hosted as part of HAT's national 50th anniversary tour.

The exhibition explores how brands have sought to understand, engage and influence teenage consumers across generations, drawing on material from HAT's extensive advertising archive.

The exhibition arrives at a particularly exciting moment for Birmingham Business School as we welcome the first cohort of students onto our new BSc Marketing programme. It's a fitting way to celebrate a marketing heritage that stretches back more than 120 years while looking ahead to the future of the discipline.

Opening Reception Invitation

Join us on 5 October, 17:30-19:00 for a special opening reception. The evening will include a fireside chat with David Clampin (HAT) and Dr Katharina Stolley, discussing branded entertainment and the future of the teenage marketplace.

Enjoy drinks and refreshments while exploring the exhibition and celebrating the arrival of HAT's national 50th anniversary tour at Birmingham Business School.

Free to attend. Registration required.
