  1. It's good advice, even today. I'm a huge Ogilvy fan.

    Sadly, though, we live in a world run by suits and getting an Ogilvy-style advert past the suits is nigh on impossible.

  2. Mark - Is the issue then poor quality control and not in fact lack of ideas? I don't know the answer by the way?

    I just couldn't image David Ogilvy complaining about suits not buying his ideas, there was a salesman if ever I saw one.
