Advertising: the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it.
Stephen Leacock
The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time
Thomas Jefferson
Advertising is only evil when it advertises evil things.
David Ogilvy
Advertising is the greatest art form of the 20th century.
Marshall McLuhan
The business that considers itself immune to the necessity for advertising sooner or later finds itself immune to business.
Derby Brown
A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself.
David Ogilvy
There is more money wasted in advertising by underspending than by overspending. Years ago someone said that underspending in advertising is like buying a ticket halfway to Europe. You've spent your money but you never get there.
Morris Hite
Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you are doing, but nobody else does.
Steuart Henderson Britt
The Death of Advertising? I think that's in the book of Revelation. It's the day when people everywhere become satisfied with their weight, their hair, their skin, their wardrobe, and their aroma.
Jef I. Richards
What really decides consumers to buy or not to buy is the content of your advertising, not its form.
David Ogilvy
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.
David Ogilvy
What is the difference between unethical and ethical advertising? Unethical advertising uses falsehoods to deceive the public; ethical advertising uses truth to deceive the public.
Vilhjalmur Stefansson
Advertising on the Web is less about just hitting someone with a message... It's about engagement [with that user].
