"Techniques of art, layout, typography, radio and television productions and fine writing are important.
Nevertheless, they are secondary to the basic selling proposition around which the ad or commercial is built. It is not the purpose of the ad or commercial to make the reader or listener say 'My, what a clever ad.' It is the purpose of advertising to make the reader or listener say, 'I believe I'll buy one when I'm shopping tomorrow,' or 'I wonder if Joe could get one for me wholesale?
The place to start in advertising is the basic selling appeal. An appeal that fulfills some existing need in the prospect's mind, an appeal that can be readily understood and believed." -- Morris Hite
What is the unique benefit?
Which consumers?
Value proposition
How do we achieve this?
A simple statement that summarizes why a customer would choose your product or service. It communicates the benefit that customers receive by framing the firm as the problem-solver.
We help (X) do (Y) by doing (Z)

The Big Idea
Anchored in a sound consumer insight
Experiential and shareable
It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea. - David Ogilvy
Design for Advertising - simplicity

"The most powerful element in advertising is the truth.“- William Bernbach
The truth in advertising
"Anyone who thinks that people can be fooled or pushed around has an inaccurate and pretty low estimate of people - and he won't do very well in advertising." -- Leo Burnett
"Regardless of the moral issue, dishonesty in advertising has proved very unprofitable." -- Leo Burnett
