## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding book
*by O***R on 22 August 2025*

I purchased this for a niece who is about to go to university because it is an outstanding book. It is also very well written.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book for a beginner and for someone who is interested in the field.
*by J***1 on 28 January 2014*

Overall 5/5, some of the good aspects of the book:-actual layout and presentation, beautiful with coloured pictures, clear layout and font-quotes and research behind techniques-feels like you are talking to Ogilvy himself in the manner of the wording-covers all principles of advertising at that timedrawbacks:-dated techniques (although Ogilvy states himself many times that its the principles to focus on, not the techniques)So for someone interested in advertising, its like a history book but feels very contemporary, it of course does not include the tech book hence much of advertising is not included such as the internet, social media etc but for its time and the principles covered 5/5

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic, although a little dated
*by M***N on 23 August 2014*

Ogilvy presents his life's work in this book with such enthusiasm that it made me want to keep reading. The subjects of advertising style, research, copywriting execution, the use of creative images, and much more, were all covered, and covered very well.However, the one problem I found with this book is that the material is very dated.On subjects of market research, split testing and copywriting style, Ogivly discusses the way in which he improved the sales of literally thousands of different product-lines through successful advertising campaigns, but I couldn't help but to compare Ogilvy's dated methodology with the modern - and proven - methods which exist today. And some of Ogilvy's are wrong. For example, Ogilvy talks about the length of copy used in his ads. He states that longer copy works best to generate more sales revenue. Of course, this statement simply isn't true in today's world and is very much dependant on dozens of factors including medium of advert, product being advertised. The list goes on.I would highly recommend this book to anyone working in advertising and/or marketing, as the book provides some deep and meaningful advice for even the experienced marketing professional, but the reader should bear in mind the year in which this book was written before using some of the advice in his next advertising campaign.
