I think the ongoing discussion of the world of advertising is, 'Where is the soul in advertising?'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Advertising is the life of trade.
The interesting thing about advertising is that the things that annoy us sometimes about it are really human. It's us looking at ourselves - and like all human endeavors it's imperfect.
Good advertising does not just circulate information. It penetrates the public mind with desires and belief.
Advertising is the edge of what people know how to do and of human experience and it explains the latest ways progress has changed us to ourselves.
Advertising is the ability to sense, interpret... to put the very heart throbs of a business into type, paper and ink.
Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.
Advertising is - quite often - alive to our real needs. It's just the products on offer might not be the things that will help us satisfy them.
The world is changing... I don't, as a consumer, want advertising that's not relevant. If we're going to take a side, let's take the side of the consumer.
I do not regard advertising as entertainment or an art form, but as a medium of information.
We have always said that advertising is just the icing on the cake. It is not the cake.
