So let me tell you a true story… The year was 1976, and life was NOT good in America. And it wasn’t just because disco was king and we suddenly found ourselves sporting silly-looking leisure suits. America’s name was being dragged through the dirt worldwide. In the preceding 24 months, Richard Nixon had resigned in disgrace and [...]

Albert Lasker and John E. Kennedy revolutionized copywriting by introducing the concept of “reason-why” advertising. Their breakthrough was all about reasoning with a prospect just as a good live salesman would — presenting all the logical reasons why a product should be purchased. Just do that and your ads will do well. But will reason-why advertising by itself [...]

Most marketers approach their prospects like an army would attack a walled city: with a full frontal assault. We come at them with flags flying, trumpets blaring, and missiles flying. Our siege machines hurl fiery projectiles, our archers darken the sky with arrows, and we send row after row of armored warriors to storm the enemy’s [...]
