Advertising is only evil when it advertises evil things.
» More quotes about: Media
FacebookTwitter
I avoid clients for whom advertising is only a marginal factor in their marketing mix. They have an awkward tendency to raid their advertising appropriations whenever they need cash for other purposes.

What really decides consumers to buy or not to buy is the content of your advertising, not its form.

Develop your eccentricities while you are young. That way, when you get old, people won't think you're going gaga.

Many people - and I think I am one of them - are more productive when they've had a little to drink. I find if I drink two or three brandies, I'm far better able to write.

Never stop testing, and your advertising will never stop improving.
» More quotes about: Media
FacebookTwitter
There is no need for advertisements to look like advertisements. If you make them look like editorial pages, you will attract about 50 per cent more readers.

FacebookTwitter
The headline is the 'ticket on the meat.' Use it to flag down readers who are prospects for the kind of product you are advertising.

FacebookTwitter
First, make yourself a reputation for being a creative genius. Second, surround yourself with partners who are better than you are. Third, leave them to go get on with it.

FacebookTwitter
It strikes me as bad manners for a magazine to accept one of my advertisements and then attack it editorially - like inviting a man to dinner then spitting in his eye.

The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.

The more informative your advertising, the more persuasive it will be.

FacebookTwitter
Our business is infested with idiots who try to impress by using pretentious jargon.
» More quotes about: Business

The most important word in the vocabulary of advertising is TEST. If you pretest your product with consumers, and pretest your advertising, you will do well in the marketplace.
» More quotes about: Media
FacebookTwitter
Hire people who are better than you are, then leave them to get on with it. Look for people who will aim for the remarkable, who will not settle for the routine.

It is flagrantly dishonest for an advertising agent to urge consumers to buy a product which he would not allow his own wife to buy.

FacebookTwitter
The consumer isn't a moron; she is your wife.
» More quotes about: Business
FacebookTwitter
Advertising is a business of words, but advertising agencies are infested with men and women who cannot write. They cannot write advertisements, and they cannot write plans. They are helpless as deaf mutes on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera.

FacebookTwitter
Ninety-nine percent of advertising doesn't sell much of anything.

FacebookTwitter
Don't bunt. Aim out of the ball park. Aim for the company of immortals.
» More quotes about: Business
FacebookTwitter
I notice increasing reluctance on the part of marketing executives to use judgment; they are coming to rely too much on research, and they use it as a drunkard uses a lamp post for support, rather than for illumination.

In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create.

FacebookTwitter
I don't know the rules of grammar... If you're trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language they use every day, the language in which they think. We try to write in the vernacular.

If it doesn't sell, it isn't creative.
» More quotes about: Business
FacebookTwitter
Every advertisement should be thought of as a contribution to the complex symbol which is the brand image.

FacebookTwitter
If each of us hires people who are smaller than we are, we shall become a company of dwarfs. But if each of us hires people who are bigger than we are, we shall become a company of giants.

Advertising people who ignore research are as dangerous as generals who ignore decodes of enemy signals.
» More quotes about: Business
FacebookTwitter
Can advertising foist an inferior product on the consumer? Bitter experience has taught me that it cannot. On those rare occasions when I have advertised products which consumer tests have found inferior to other products in the same field, the results ha

Never write an advertisement which you wouldn't want your family to read. You wouldn't tell lies to your own wife. Don't tell them to mine.
» More quotes about: Business
FacebookTwitter
Remove advertising, disable a person or firm from proclaiming its wares and their merits, and the whole of society and of the economy is transformed. The enemies of advertising are the enemies of freedom.

If you ever have the good fortune to create a great advertising campaign, you will soon see another agency steal it. This is irritating, but don't let it worry you; nobody has ever built a brand by imitating somebody else's advertising.
» More quotes about: Business
FacebookTwitter
A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself.
» More quotes about: Business
FacebookTwitter
It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea.

Leaders grasp nettles.

The pursuit of excellence is less profitable than the pursuit of bigness, but it can be more satisfying.

The secret of long life is double careers. One to about age sixty, then another for the next thirty years.
» More quotes about: Work
FacebookTwitter
I have a theory that the best ads come from personal experience. Some of the good ones I have done have really come out of the real experience of my life, and somehow this has come over as true and valid and persuasive.
» More quotes about: Business

The relationship between a manufacturer and his advertising agency is almost as intimate as the relationship between a patient and his doctor. Make sure that you can life happily with your prospective client before you accept his account.

I did not feel 'evil' when I wrote advertisements for Puerto Rico. They helped attract industry and tourists to a country which had been living on the edge of starvation for 400 years.

Like a midwife, I make my living bringing new babies into the world, except that mine are new advertising campaigns.

You now have to decide what 'image' you want for your brand. Image means personality. Products, like people, have personalities, and they can make or break them in the market place.

I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form, but as a medium of information.
» More quotes about: Business

There are very few men of genius in advertising agencies. But we need all we can find. Almost without exception they are disagreeable. Don't destroy them. They lay golden eggs.
» More quotes about: Business

Many manufacturers secretly question whether advertising really sells their product, but are vaguely afraid that their competitors might steal a march on them if they stopped.
» More quotes about: Business

Political advertising ought to be stopped. It's the only really dishonest kind of advertising that's left. It's totally dishonest.
