#189 David Ogilvy (The book I've given as a gift the most)

Transcribed with NVIDIA Parakeet · Timestamps stay in sync with the live audio

Will any agency hire this man? He's thirty eight and unemployed. He dropped out of college. He's a bit of cook. A salesman.

A diplomat. And a farmer. He knows nothing about marketing. He has never written any copy. He professes to be interested in advertising his career and is ready to go to work for five thousand dollars a year.

I doubt if any American agency will hire him. However A London agency did hire him. Three years later he became the most famous copywriter in the world. And in due course built the tenth biggest agency in the world.

That is the first couple of minutes. The rest is 1 credit.
