The elections are run by the same industries that sell toothpaste on television.

Most people probably don't even know what toothpaste they buy; they just recognize the box on the shelf.

Advertising is a wonderful lubricant for business, if it's used properly.

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.

If there's one thing I've always taken care of with my work, it's that it's never an advertisement for anything other than the work itself and for the people it's about - no 'Coca-Cola presents.'

Advertising is the life of trade.

I've turned down soap and deodorant commercials - it wasn't my route.

Great advertising, in and of itself, becomes a benefit of the product.

People used to complain that selling a president was like selling a bar of soap. But when you buy soap, at least you get the soap. In this campaign you just get two guys telling you they really value cleanliness.

If you look hard enough, you'll find that many of the products we use every day - chewing gums, skin moisturizers, disinfecting wipes, air fresheners, water purifiers, health snacks, antiperspirants, colognes, teeth whiteners, fabric softeners, vitamins - are results of manufactured habits.
