I hope I never get so hard up I have to do advertisements. I've gotten ridiculous offers.
Modern cosmetic surgeons have a direct financial interest in a social role for women that requires them to feel ugly. They do not simply advertise for a share of a market that already exists: Their advertisements create new markets. It is a boom industry because it is influentially placed to create its own demand through the pairing of text with ads in women's magazines. The industry takes out ads and gets coverage; women get cut open. They pay their money and they takes their chances. As surgeons grow richer, they are able to command larger and brighter ad spaces.
What is a good advertisement? An advertisement which pleases you because of its style, or an advertisement which sells the most? They are seldom the same.
I don't even notice the advertisement that comes up on my screen. I'm a smart person and it's just something I've just blacked out because it doesn't seem right to me.
Advertisements may be evaluated scientifically; they cannot be created scientifically.
The question about those aromatic advertisements that perfume companies are having stitched into magazines these days is this: under the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment, is smelling up the place a constitutionally protected form of expression?

Consumers will purchase high quality products even if they are expensive, or in other words, even if there are slightly reasonable discount offers, consumers will not purchase products unless they truly understand and are satisfied with the quality. Also, product appeal must be properly communicated to consumers, but advertisements that are pushed on consumers are gradually losing their effect, and we have to take the approach that encourages consumers to retrieve information at their own will.
Americans were people who wanted to leave every place better than they found it, to leave every man more of a man than they found him. . . . Americans could open doors to almost all that was admirable - it was their misfortune, not their fault, that movies and victrolas and advertisements squeezed in when they opened the door.
All the papers that matter live off their advertisements, and the advertisers exercise an indirect censorship over news.
While politicians, clergy, creators of advertisements, and other worthies assert stoutly that the family is the foundation of society, the nuclear family, as an institution, is currently in grave trouble.
You can tell the ideals of a nation by its advertisements.
Advertisements contain the only truths to be relied on in a newspaper.
The cross is almost a distraction and false advertisement for God.
All media depend on advertisement to survive.
Winds are advertisements of all they touch, however much or little we may be able to read them; telling their wanderings even by their scents alone.
A good headline can make an advertisement good even if the picture is poor.
