Ogilvy-on-Advertising-300x300

Ogilvy on Advertising is a classic book written by David Ogilvy that includes his philosophy on the ad industry, building an agency and how to convince consumers to buy his clients’ products. It was written in the 80s, but much of his advice is relevant in today’s digital reality. One of my favorite quotes in the book is “We sell. Or, else.” {Buy now}
