“One man, scorned and covered with scars, still strove with his last
ounce of courage to reach the unreachable stars; and the world was better for
this."
- Don Quixote
"Every man with a new idea is a crank until the idea succeeds."-

When it comes to marketing and advertising, everyone is an expert, everyone
has an opinion.
However…
“Half my advertising is wasted, I just don’t know which half.”- John
Wanamaker (1838-1922) retailer, Philadelphia
“Only 25% of advertising campaigns produced a positive result.”-
Professor John Phillip Jones, Syracuse University
(Speaking at the 2002
European Advertising Symposium)
“40% of ad campaigns resulted in a negative impact on sales.”-
Professor Flemming Hansen (Copenhagen Business School)

Leonardo Da Vinci once said…
“Many will think that they can with reason blame me, alleging that my
proofs are contrary to the authority of certain men held in great reverence by
their inexperienced judgements, not considering that my works are the issue of
simple and plain experience which is the true mistress.”
Ok, so what am I trying to say?
When it comes to marketing and advertising form your own opinions, come to
your own conclusions don’t follow popular opinion or traditional wisdom.
In marketing and advertising the grassy road less travelled is your best
choice for success.
