"In its performance,
advertising
is not a soloist. It is a member of an
ensemble of all those activities that can
be classified under the general head
of marketing, and it must do its part
in harmony with them."
"I believe that superior
creative
work always has been, is, and always
will be the hub of the wheel in any
successful agency."
"When a man knows deep
in his
bones what is right, and keeps acting on
it, he avoids the trap of compromise -
he remains incorruptible."
"Curiosity about life
in all of its
aspects, I think, is still the secret of
great creative people."
"The greatest thing
to be achieved
in advertising, in my opinion,
is believability, and nothing is more
believable than the product itself."
"In this business when
you start
putting the emphasis on counting money
rather than getting out better ads and
otherwise giving your client better
service you soon learn that there is very
little money to count."
