10 QUOTES WITH «AD»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word ad.
1
Jensen Ackles
When I was in middle school, some of my so-called friends found a catalogue ad I did for Superman pajamas. They made as many copies as they could and pasted them up all over school.
2
Moran Atias
I left Israel to work as a model, to just make money - I didn't care if I was doing an ad for toilet paper or diapers, I just really wanted to allow myself to go to school, to go to university without waitressing, because when I'm in a school environment I just really like to study and have the best grades and learn as much as I can.
3
John Battelle
Advertising and content have always been bound together - in print, on television, and on the web. Sure, you can skip the ad - just flip the page, or press 'ffwd' on your DVR. But great advertising, as I've long argued, adds value to the content ecosystem, and has as much a right to be in the conversation as does the publisher and the consumer.
4
William Bernbach
Properly practiced creativity can make one ad do the work of ten.
5
William Bernbach
Just because your ad looks good is no insurance that it will get looked at. How many people do you know who are impeccably groomed... but dull?
6
Joan Blades
What is the biggest public forum in the United States? We were told it's the Super Bowl. The ad shows kids working at blue-collar jobs, and the final statement is just written text: Who's going to pay for the trillion dollar deficit?
7
Ray Bradbury
The answer I found is you stay away from the people who make fun of you, and you join these ad hoc groups who understand your craziness.
8
Bruce Campbell
My father was in the ad business, and he wanted to be a painter.
9
Patrick Carney
A lot of people see a Nissan ad and they see a finished product in a record store or on iTunes and that's the face of the band.
10
Drew Curtis
On the Internet, news is consumed a la carte. If someone shows up on the main page of a website and doesn't see anything of interest, they leave. This negatively impacts ad revenues. The solution on the Internet is to pack news websites full of things that will draw people in, regardless of whether they are news or not.
