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 farce about a mentally unstable advertising executive, Denis Dimbleby Bagley (played by Grant), who suffers a nervous breakdown while working a campaign for pimple cream. Ward plays his long-suffering but sympathetic wife. Bagley then develops a boil on his shoulder that he imagines comes to life with a face and voice.
