A review of David Ogilvy’s book “Ogilvy On Advertising”

Who Is David Ogilvy And Why Should We Listen To Him?

• David Ogilvy is commonly called “The Father of Advertising”.
• He was referred to as “the most sought after wizard in today’s advertising industry”, Time Magazine, 1962.
• He started his company Ogilvy, Benson & Mather in 1948 with $6,000 and sold it in 1989 for $864 million.
• Adweek magazine asked people in the business “Which individuals—alive or dead—made you consider pursuing a career in advertising?” Ogilvy topped the list. And the same result came when students of advertising were surveyed. His best-selling book “Confessions of an Advertising Man” is one of the most popular and famous books on advertising.

So, what makes a great movie?

I saw the new Batman movie recently “The Dark Knight” and I must say that Heath Ledger did an amazing job of portraying the Joker, even better than Jack Nicholson back in 1989 in my honest opinion.

Afterwards I started to think about what makes a great movie - is it the special effects? Maybe, although there are many movies with great special effects that have not been as successful. Is it the big name stars? Not necessarily, big name stars make bad movies all of the time.

Yeah, this one time, the wind whistled through my ears and my hair felt like it was going to rip out! My heart was pounding and even though I could hear people yelling at me, I couldn’t really make out what they were saying. I could smell the fresh air and far below me, I could hear the sound of cars zooming past. I was horrified and yet I felt like I wanted to go to sleep. And then, I just stepped off… and dropped 192 metres.
