After working as a newspaper journalist in Dallas, Berger moved back to New York and worked for several years as a magazine editor for CBS.

In 1990, Berger founded his independent writing business, with The New York Times as one of the main outlets for his writing. He wrote a business column for the Sunday Times,[3] and also contributed culture articles regularly to the Arts & Leisure section as well as The New York Times Magazine.[3] His feature stories also appeared in GQ, The Los Angeles Times Magazine, New York magazine, Reader’s Digest, and Business 2.0.

Berger pursued his interest in advertising by writing articles for Ad Age’s Creativity, Communication Arts, Graphis, and Metropolis. In the mid-1990s, he formed an association with The One Club for Art & Copy, helping them launch the bimonthly publication ONE, about creativity in advertising, and then in 2007 launching the quarterly One: Design. In 2001, he wrote his first book Advertising Today, published by Phaidon Press. The book was included on Barnes & Noble’s best books of the year list, and was later included in a list of the “50 all time best books about media” compiled by The Independent of London.
