Earning in 💵 and living in 💶 is becoming a real concern 🙁
Is the #dollar dying?

¿Por qué los nuevos canales añadidos de la @BBC a @MovistarPlus no tiene la opción de V.O.? Desde mi ilustre ignorancia es un verdadero sacrilegio. Y no veo los canales justamente por no poder verlos en V.O.. Y me jode muchísimo porque me interesa el contenido. FIX IT!

First thought on the DT shooting … was it an inside job staged by the DT marketing team 🤔
I know, it’s a sick thought, but society is sooo fucked up, one gets these ideas.
From what I’ve read here on @X he’s fine.
If you're a copywriter - or write anything for your business - you need to know this:
It's something that should pop into your brain whenever you sit down to write.
It's a pesky little mantra I drum into my own head every day:
‘Nobody wants to read this.’
But, annoying as that thought may be, it also makes me write better copy. As it's true.
So, before you write anything, you must remind yourself that nobody has the slightest desire to read what you’re about to write.
Nobody has a burning desire to read a marketing email, sales letter, landing page, Facebook ad, website or anything else designed to sell.
Fact is, your copy must be damn good to cut through the apathy.
But that’s not easy. Truth is, copywriting isn't easy.
Thank you 🙏 Bob Bly, @FullyThoughtOut, @samlightfinch, James McCabe, @sabotajeal and @CopyArms for taking the time to provide me with your perspective.
And @ThilLucas for helping me with the technical part 🙂
Without these collaborations this article would’ve been impossible.
What are your thoughts on #AI + #Creativity?
It’s a subject that has lately brought a lot of talk, debate and, may I say confusion.
I took it up with @RockandartUK and they thought it was an interesting subject to dwell in.
Here’s the result.

23 lessons from David Ogilvy:
1. Search all the parks in all your cities; you'll find no statues of committees.
2. The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.
3. You are advertising to a moving parade, not a standing army.
4. Do not address your readers as though they were gathered together in a stadium. When people read your copy, they are alone.
5. Remember you are a human being writing to another human being. Neither of you is an institution
6. Tell your prospective client your weakness before they notice them. This will make you more credible when you boast about your strong points.
7. Avoiding excess in all things is a recipe for dullness and mediocrity.
8. A good advertisement is one which sells the product without drawing attention to itself.
9. There is no need for advertisements to look like advertisements. If you make them look like editorial pages, you will attract about 50% more readers
10. Big ideas come from the unconscious. This is true in art, in science, and in advertising. But your unconscious has to be well-informed, or your idea will be irrelevant
11. People who think well, write well
12. The most important word in the vocabulary of advertising is 'test'.
13. On average, five times as many people read the headline as read the body copy.
14. When you have written your headline, you have spent eighty cents out of your dollar.
15. Tell the truth, but make the truth fascinating
16. Advertising is only evil when it advertises evil things.
17. Advertising people who ignore research are as dangerous as generals who ignore decodes of enemy signals.
18. Raise your sights. Blaze new trails. Compete with the immortals.
19. I am a lousy copywriter, but I am a good editor. So I go to work editing my own draft.
20. If you're trying to persuade people to buy something, use the language in which they think.
21. Insist that due dates are kept even if it means working all night. Hard work never killed a man. People die of boredom
22. If you are lucky enough to write a good advertisement, repeat it until it stops selling.
23. At the start of your career in advertising, what you learn is more important than what you earn.

“When Fortune published an article about me and titled it: 'Is David Ogilvy a Genius?', I asked my lawyer to sue the editor for the question mark.” - David Ogilvy
