David Olgivy:
“Marketing results depend less on how
advertising is written than on how the
product or service is positioned.”

Al Ries and Jack Trout
• Positioning is not something you do with a
product. Positioning is what you do in the
mind of a prospect.
• All that exists in the world of marketing are
perceptions in the minds of the customer
or the prospect. The perception is reality.”

“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

Editor's Notes
Re-freshed by KFC”
The repairs are decorated with a white stencil saying the spot was “Re-freshed by KFC” — a play on KFC’s ad campaign stressing the freshness of their chickens. In addition to the Louisville project, KFC has issued an open offer to U.S. mayors to tell them about the state of their city streets and request assistance. The chain will select as many as four more cities at random for pothole assistance.
