I think daily deals are a good idea. Any ad people view as content is a good ad, and that's true for daily-deal ads too.
I came from a different world from other designers because I already had such a strong fan base that was interested in fashion. You have to give the little divas something.
Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.
Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.
Everyone is someone else's catalyst for selling something these days.

My being bought as a politically outspoken artist is a more potent advertising tool for Apple than a 100 more explicit ads.
If your plan is to put a product out there that people can see and understand, then by golly, we're going to get along just fine.
A good basic selling idea, involvement and relevancy, of course, are as important as ever, but in the advertising din of today, unless you make yourself noticed and believed, you ain't got nothin'.
Netflix, Amazon, iTunes - whatever platforms emerge - we are looking at as having the same potential that home video had for the movie business.

I showed what I can do with butter, right? Eighty-five percent increase in sales. I'm very proud of them Country Life ads. They were funny and clever and classy like the Toblerone ads I grew up with.

The rules of engagement around building a brand have changed significantly over the past 10 to 15 years. Where companies at one time could spread their message through traditional marketing, consumers now seek an enduring emotional connection with the companies they patronize. The foundation of that connection is the most important characteristic of building a world-class brand: trust. Trust with your people and trust with your customers.
I know how to sell a brand and create excitement around something, and so when you combine those two together -entertaining and marketing - it's like things start to go crazy.
