“I do not regard advertising as an
entertainment or an art form but as a
medium of information. When I write an
advertisement, I don’t want you to tell me
that you find it creative. I want you to find
it so interesting that you buy the product.”
-David Olgivy

Creative
• Market your product or service, not
your creative, (unless you are in the
