About us

Adbusters Magazine is the people’s bi-monthly journal of the mental environment.

But we’re so much more than a magazine.

We’re a global collective of writers, artists, designers, musicians, poets, philosophers and punks.

Since 1989 we’ve been smashing ads, fighting corruption and speaking truth to power. We’re trying to forge a new way of living, create a whole new cultural vibe to escape the capitalist paradigm and halt humanity’s slide into a 10,000-year dark age.

From BuyNothing Day to Occupy Wall Street  we’ve been at the helm of our era’s defining tone-shifting moments. We’re the creators of the world’s most ethical shoes and a design manifesto that shocked many creative people to their core.

Join our revolutionary activist collective here.

Editor-in-chief, Kalle Lasn, is the bestselling author of Culture Jam (1999), Design Anarchy (2006) and Meme Wars (2012). Born in Estonia during World War II, he lived in a displaced persons camp before gaining refuge in Australia. He is a true global citizen, a poet-shaman with an outsider’s perspective and an insider’s cred.
