Copywriting and Marketing Movie

8 replies
Advice I received from Ted Nicholas. He said the best copywriters and marketers are childlike. He also suggested we all watch the movie "Crazy People".

Anyone see this movie? The trailer looks funny.

      It's cheezy... it's old... but it does have some relevance.

      Basic premise:

      People from a "rest home" for insane people begin writing ads by cutting through all the crap madison avenue writes, and just telling the truth.

      I.E. -

      "Volvo... They're boxy but they're good."

      "Jaguar For men who'd like hand-jobs from beautiful women they hardly know."

      "Metamucil... It'll make you go to the toilet. If you don't you'll get cancer and die."

      My fave for the Greece tourism board: "Forget France,The French are annoying,come to Greece,We're Nicer."

    I've seen it.. a long time ago.

    "How To Get Ahead In Advertising" is a more interesting
    film, imo.
