Where People Aren't Having Any Fun, They

Once Upon A Time I Was Riding On The Top Of A First Avenue Bus, When I Heard A Mythical Housewife Say To Another, "molly, My Dear, I Would Have Bought That New Brand Of Toilet Soap If Only They Hadn't Set The Body Copy In Ten Point Garamond." Don't You Believe It. What Really Decides Consumers To Buy Or Not To Buy Is The Content Of Your Advertising, Not Its Form.

Any Damn Fool Can Put On A Deal, But It Takes Genius, Faith And Perseverance To Create A Brand.

You Will Never Win Fame And Fortune Unless You Invent Big Ideas.

If You Have All The Research, All The Ground Rules, All The Directives, All The Data - It Doesn't Mean The Ad Is Written. Then You've Got To Close The Door And Write Something - That Is The Moment Of Truth Which We All Try To Postpone As Long As Possible.

On The Average, Five Times As Many People Read The Headlines As Read The Body Copy.
