Word Of Mouth Is The Best Medium

Properly Practiced Creativity Can Make One Ad Do The Work Of Ten.

There Are A Lot Of Great Technicians In Advertising. And Unfortunately They Talk The Best Game. They Know All The Rules. They Can Tell You That People In An Ad Will Get You Greater Readership. They Can Tell You That A Sentence Should Be This Short Or That Long. They Can Tell You That Body Copy Should Be Broken Up For Easier Reading. They Can Give You Fact After Fact After Fact. They Are The Scientists Of Advertising. But There's One Little Rub. Advertising Is Fundamentally Persuasion And Persuasion Happens To Be Not A Science, But An Art.

The Heart Of Creativity Is Discipline.

Forget Words Like 'hard Sell' And 'soft Sell.' That Will Only Confuse You. Just Be Sure Your Advertising Is Saying Something With Substance, Something That Will Inform And Serve The Consumer, And Be Sure You're Saying It Like It's Never Been Said Before.

Adapt Your Techniques To An Idea, Not An Idea To Your Techniques.
