The film is a farce about a mentally unstable advertising executive, Denis Dimbleby Bagley (played by Grant), who suffers a nervous breakdown while making an advert for pimple cream. Rachel Ward plays his long-suffering but sympathetic wife, Julia Bagley.
“How to Get Ahead in Advertising” is a sour, mean-spirited attack on advertising, starring an actor who can be repulsive and hateful without even trying. Those are the good things about it. The film's weakness is that it hates advertising so much it can't shut up about it.
How to Get Ahead in Advertising. Pressure from his boss (Richard Wilson) and a skin-cream client produces a talking boil on a British adman's (Richard E. Grant) neck.

How to Get Ahead in Advertising. Richard E. Grant is the endlessly suave Dennis Bagley, a high-strung advertising executive whose shoulder sprouts an evil, talking boil. The boil speaks only to Bagley, is silent to the rest of the world, and seems to be growing.

Brief Synopsis. An advertising man grows a second head that's better at his job than he.
Getting a big, talking boil on his shoulder doesn't help. Dennis Dimbleby Bagley is a brilliant young advertising executive who can't come up with a slogan to sell a revolutionary new pimple cream.
