Advertising is the ability to sense, interpret... to put the very heart throbs of a business into type, paper and ink.
I have learned that it is far easier to write a speech about good advertising than it is to write a good ad.
Good advertising does not just circulate information. It penetrates the public mind with desires and belief.
Commercial speech is like obscenity... we can't seem to define it, but we know it when we see it.
Advertising is the life of trade.

Originally in the United States, there were no laws regulating behavioral advertising. As a result, like in the Philippines, government has relied on industry self-regulation.
Advertising is what you do when you can't go see somebody. That's all it is.
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.
If people ever talked the way advertising sounded, they would be put away.
