How to Get Ahead in Advertising is a 1989 British film written and directed by Bruce Robinson and starring Richard E. Grant and Rachel Ward.

The movie is a comedy farce about a mentally unstable superstar advertising executive, Denis Dimbleby Bagley (Grant), who suffers a nervous breakdown while working a campaign for pimple cream. Ward is his long-suffering but sympathetic wife. The central story of the movie revolves around Bagley's development of a boil on his shoulder that comes alive (as experienced by him) with a face and voice.
