There is a great deal of advertising that is much better than the product. When that happens, all that the good advertising will do is put you out of business faster.

I came into the advertising business in 1952, at the age of sixteen, as a delivery boy for a stuffy, old-line advertising agency named Ruthruff and Ryan, which could have served as the setting for the 'Mad Men' television series without moving a desk.

Advertising should always be in good taste without a question.

'Business Week' is guilty of very shoddy reporting.

In my world - advertising - the Super Bowl is judgment day. If politicians have Election Day and Hollywood has the Oscars, advertising has the Super Bowl.

There's an eternal war between a creative person and the business person.
