Ogilvy on Advertising by David Ogilvy
recommended to me by a senior marketer. not everything is applicable given the digital age, but the fundamentals are still good lessons.
main takeaways:
• tons of minor details when creating ads like typography or headline creation
• ads should always be created with the intention of viewers reading alone
• stuff your conscious mind with information, then unhook your rational thought process. this helps to open up your unconscious mind.
• do not kill successful ad campaigns until it has proven to not work anymore. literally MILK and squeeze it dry
fav quotes:
4/5

fav quotes:
I do not regard advertising as 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.

The reason I want you guys to read actual physical books (for hours at a time)
is bc it is genuinely one of the single most important things for your brain
It slows your attention to a natural, healthy speed, and heals the dopaminergic brain rot of social…

Sharing 8+ meals a week with people has the same happiness boost as DOUBLING your income.
And yet we eat alone 53% more than we did 20 years ago.

the amount of backlash from OpenAI’s decision to remove 4o is honestly worrying
we’re just at the cusp of AI and people are already showing attachments and dependence on their AI bot for emotional needs
unsurprising because a lot have turned toward chatgpt for therapy or even validation
now, who were the ones that used to laugh at people wanting to marry a robot?
