Killers versus Poets

The reason why


The writer of an unsigned 1902 editorial in Printers' Ink spoke for the majority, noting: "More attractive than fine pictures, more potent than fine language, are the Why and Wherefore of the goods-the Reasons.

Killers and Poets


Hard-sell advocates frequently criticized "poets" for desiring personal recognition for their creativity. Conversely, soft-sell advocates often criticized "killers" for their lack of creativity.

Copymans trouble
1908, observations in Printers Ink: "The modern 'copy man' has to say things in a way that they have not been said beforebecause that is the only kind of talk that will nowadays attract attention."

A period of experimental discovery


1905: the University of Pennsylvania offered a course in "The Marketing of Products" 1908: Harvard Business School opens 1908: Northwestern University opens its School of Commerce, which will later become the Kellogg School of Management, home to influential marketing professor Philip Kotler

Marketing for the masses

Marketing theories
More of the consumer viewpoint and of economic analysis were introduced. The concept of marketing was being reformulated.

Rise of MadMan
Leo Burnett, identified two schools of strategic thought in a Printers' Ink article: 1-Poster-style advertising 2-Reason-why advertising

Ultimate question continues


In the 1950s, a slim majority continued to argue that advertising's role was to sell products directly, with remarks similar to those of hardsell advocates from forty years earlier.

Television is the triumph of machine over people.

The birthday of the bathroom break.


July 1, 1941, the first day the Federal Communications Commission allowed TV stations to switch from experimental to commercial broadcasts. NBC New York affiliate WNBT becomes the first of 22 FCC licensees to air sponsored programming.

The birth of USP


The president of N.W. Ayer and Son observed in 1941 that advertising "cannot create a single point of superiority in a product or add a single virtue to its manufacturer. What advertising can do is to speed up the process of getting a good product well and favorably known."

Hierarchy of needs
Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs model was developed between 1943-1954, and first widely published in Motivation and Personality in 1954. At this time the Hierarchy of Needs model comprised five needs. Maslow's most popular book is Toward a Psychology of Being (1968), in which more layers were added.

Question of ethics

Rise of cynicism
What is the difference between unethical and ethical advertising? Unethical advertising uses falsehoods to deceive the public; ethical advertising uses truth to deceive the public. Vilhjalmur Stefansson, 1964

First trial
In 1968, a creative team at BBDO, New York, slips some marbles into a bowl of Campbell's vegetable soup to keep the vegetables from sinking to the bottom. This seemingly innocent effort sparks a Federal Trade Commission probe and becomes the basis for the FTC's efforts to eliminate false ads with a practice that allows it to demand "corrective advertising" from an advertiser that has made a false claim.

The battle is in the consumers mind

A new approach: Positioning


Beginning in 1969 two young marketing guys, Jack Trout and Al Ries, wrote, spoke and disseminated to the advertising and PR world about a new concept in communications called positioning.

Brand image?
Lee Clow, in 1971: "Why isn't the persona of the brand considered a real difference? Is it because it's too esoteric?"

Mystique?
As one wrote in 1971, "Research not only takes some of the mystique out of agency creative departments, it also gives the client more direct control over creative people."

The search for cool

Emotion is the king!

Invention of ROI
"I know that half of my advertising budget is wasted, but I'm not sure which half. John Wanamaker

Differentiate or die
Hal Riney, a creative director for the BBDO agency during the "creative revolution" of the 1960s, stated this point very clearly in 1982: '"Most of the time,' he says, 'the facts haven't done me a lot of good. It seems there's someone already using the same ones'"

Mark Tungate, the Paris-based author of Fashion Brands: Branding Style From Armani to Zara. "Advertisers today can be more subtle because they are safe in the knowledge that a single image does not have to stand alone. The Web site and the store are equally parts of the brand experience. "

Long live consumerism


It is our job to make women unhappy with what they have. B. Earl Puckett, 1992
