Political advertising ought to be stopped. It's the only really dishonest kind of advertising that's left. — David M. Ogilvy. British advertising executive (1911–1999)
In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognize a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good salesman.
Never write an advertisement which you wouldn't want your family to read. You wouldn't tell lies to your own wife. Don't tell them to mine.
