advertising

The most powerful element in advertising is the truth.

When governments rely increasingly on sophisticated public relations agencies, public debate disappears and is replaced by competing propaganda campaigns, with all the accompanying deceits. Advertising isn't about truth or fairness or rationality, but about mobilising deeper and more primitive layers of the human mind.

Chess is as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you can find outside an advertising agency.

I came in as an engineer and worked on artificial intelligence at Google. I worked on related sites and matching advertising to queries with some of our earliest ads.

Advertising: the science of arresting the human intelligence long enough to get money from it.

The Death of Advertising? I think that's in the book of Revelation. It's the day when people everywhere become satisfied with their weight, their hair, their skin, their wardrobe, and their aroma.

Advertising is fundamentally persuasion and persuasion happens to be not a science, but an art.

It__ never been easier for audiences to skip, filter, or avoid advertising, so the best ideas are the ones that respect that the audience needs to get something out of the work; it should inspire, satisfy, or motivate them. You can__ just bombard people with messages anymore.
