Advertisements are now so numerous that they are very negligently perused
I saw a subliminal advertising executive, but only for a second.
The vocation of each writer is to describe the world as he or she sees it; anything more than that is advertising.
I was in advertising for years. That was cushy, you know? It's pretty cushy in a lot of ways, but I hated it.
Advertising mourishes the consuming power of men. It sets up before a man the goal of a better home, better clothing, better food for himself and his family. It spurs individual exertion and greater production.
There are plenty of people who are willing to pay $2. 6 million for 30 seconds on the Super Bowl and hundreds of thousands of dollars for 'American Idol. ' There will be advertising dollars on the Internet. We're there as well. We win either way.
I don't see a point in advertising my marital status when men don't. Completely ridiculous.
Look, I went into journalism to do journalism, not advertising.
More traffic means more advertising dollars.
Good advertising can make people buy your product even if it sucks. . . A dollar spent on brainwashing is more cost-effective than a dollar spent on product improvement.
Politicians pass laws for gun-free school zones. They issue press releases bragging about them. They post signs advertising them, and in doing so, they tell every insane killer in America that schools are the safest place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk.
Online advertising may not be much more successful than an old double-barrel, but - like a good spray of buckshot - it makes up for its lack of accuracy with sheer volume. There are 10 unique ads listed with every Gmail message in your queue, each tied to the message content. And a paying sponsor.
Advertising must respect the intelligence of its audience and if it does not prompt them to think, it will be instantly dismissed.
Client companies and advertising agencies are old-world-order places. The systems and processes and structures come from a time when you shot the TV commercial, then you did the print ads, then you did everything else - including the website. Everything has changed, but the systems haven't.
Advertising is utterly unprofitable, and I could prove it to you in one week. End an ad with an offer to pay five dollars to anyone who writes you that he read the ad through. The scarcity of replies will amaze you.
I started selling out comedy clubs before I got to town with no advertising. I was selling out theaters just on the rumor that I was going to be there.
The most frequent reason for unsuccessful advertising is advertisers who are so full of their own accomplishments (the world's best seed!) that they forget to tell us why we should buy (the world's best lawn!).
It's false advertising to call Mrs. Obama the First Lady. First Woman, maybe, but certainly not a lady. Ann Romney is an actual lady.
The future of advertising is the Internet.
I wanted to be some kind of captain of industry. Then I wanted to be in advertising, and then I wanted to be a newspaper reporter.
