Digital Advertising

CHANGE or DIE. Do you believe that? Neither do your customers. And herein lies the problem for your business. Together, we have the skill to make outrageous claims and trick people into buying what we want. Some advertisers like to use an over-the-top copywriting message because some guru somewhere said it would increase conversions. But they are wrong. It turns out that you can't fool any of the people any of the time. We are a world of smart people, but most smart people ignore most advertising because most advertising ignores smart people. We debate endlessly about the font and color of the message without realizing that the message IS the message. Above all, the message we communicate to our customers has to be the truth. If we play tricks with the truth, we die. BEING HONEST about our intentions demands a product worth laying all our cards on the table for. Sadly, so many products aren't. So many products don't do anything better. Or even anything different. So many products don't work quite right. Or don't last. Or simply don't matter. These products die. If we play the same tricks on our customers, ours also die. Because our customers have caught on to the tricks, and they have quit listening. Unless we change, consumer indifference will make our customers blind to our product. On that day, in our gleaming packages of empty promises, we die. CHANGE or DIE. Here's what I bring that your other potential hires can't: A Master's Degree in Advertising and seven years as a copywriter, a creative brief built in full cooperation with you containing explanations and discussions of all the actions suggested, and a NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT on any and all communication and projects. (I DO NOT send out "samples" from past client work, we can't risk your competitors seeing them.).
