"Following week he died" LMAO

Perfection, respect. Sophistication does not equate with intelligence. Advertising is not manipulation, it is articulation. Relating to the most opposing of viewpoints is an art form. I am very sorry I'll never meet Mr. Ogilvy. He reminds me so much of my Grandfather. There is a warmth there, behind the mantle of pragmatism.

This is an excellent video with great insight into one of the greatest minds in advertising who ever lived. Not to compare., but I can relate somewhat as I sold an expensive product door to door, and the sale took around half an hour as his did, and it changed my life forever. The experience was that valuable. I would highly recommend to anyone planning on working in this or a related field, such as public relations, that you first learn how to sell. In that manner you will understand how to communicate effectively, get your point across and create a positive impression on the other end.

I started studying marketing promotions a few months ago, i got hook when i notice that is an important element in the mkt mix, and people that work in that is creative, so creativity is important. Then i met agencies, what i could say as an insight is that is very common finding advertisers talking about themselves as a different discipline than a marketer, but i think that the proper name is marketing promotions. As a conclusion advertisers should be marketers. And that brings me confusion? .... to me keep on studying this thing.

Great lesson from a great man. As a sales manager I recommend that my sales people follow these principles.
