Candor Compels Me To Admit That I Have No Conclusive Research To Support My View That Jingles Are Less Persuasive Than The Spoken Word. You'd Run Like Hell If A Salesman Came To Your Door And Began Singing At You. Why Do It In Advertising?

More From David Ogilvy

You Aren’t Advertising To A Standing Army; You Are Advertising To A Moving Parade.

Most Agencies Run Scared, Most Of The Time. . . .frightened People Are Powerless To Produce Good Advertising. . . . If I Were Aclient, I Would Do Everything In My Power To Emancipate My Agencies From Fear, Even To The Extent Of Giving Them Long-term Contracts.

Few Of The Great Creators Have Bland Personalities. They Are Cantankerous Egotists, The Kind Of Men Who Are Unwelcome In The Modern Corporation.

We Like People Who Are Honest. Honest In Argument, Honest With Clients, Honest With Suppliers, Honest With The Company - And Above All, Honest With Consumers.

Our Offices Must Always Be Headed By The Kind Of Men Who Command Respect. Not Phonies, Zeros Or Bastards.
