If there is one thing I’ll strive to create is a cabal of old-school, hard-core marketers and salespeople that eat what they kill on the day — and quash all this chatter about soft-core, fluffy, feel-good brand-building and their ‘holistic’ approach to selling.

Carbon copy ads & offers for the Black Friday rush… Do businesses know there are other forms of offerings to get new customers & repeat sales?

Big, bold, noticeable advertisement restored on the side of a house. A shame there was no offer ;)

As David Ogilvy’s mantra goes: ads must sell, not just entertain… Jaguar! 3 simple predictions: - Depressed sales - CEO replaced in the near future - Brand reputation damaged & rebuilt

@GadSaad @megynkelly @JustinTrudeau Bludgeoned by ‘Saad Truth’. Thank you.

STOP what you are doing. This might be the greatest clip of all-time. @megynkelly shares with us her thoughts of @justintrudeau in the bedroom with an explanation of yours truly of sneaky f**kers. Reason 9,348,432,873 why I love Megyn, with due apologies to the glorious @DougBrunt.

To quote Warren Buffet, “When ignorance is combined with borrowed money, you get interesting outcomes.”

@GadSaad That’s why I call myself a curmudgeon, already hammering out ‘big grumpy old man energy’ at 40 because of people like her floundering in a slew of dumbness.

Like reading books like gaining knowledge like fostering profundity like it’s really important in order to like not become like a degenerate like.

Imagine this ‘Spider Hider’ wasn’t caught and you end up sitting next to him on a plane? Can someone call Samuel Jackson, I have his sequel for ‘Snakes on a Plane’.

Dumb, empty promise ad copy: “Dedicated to the highest standard of treatment — we offer liposculpture for both men and women as a local anaesthetic day case procedure. For a free consultation call:” The only disruptive, interesting part is the picture.

Oh no, I may as well hang up my 10+ years copywriting skill now as Kong AI is here.

Read this recently about Oasis, and it pertains well to selling with transparency. When you’re honest about who you are & the flaws of your products and services — shit don’t bite you in the ass later. Also: it’s a great way to repel an unwanted audience or customer.

I am going through a frenzy of studying old 1930s ads — and you gotta love them. Fear copy at the heady heights. I used this kind of selling a few years back, and received a plethora of complaints from my list, but also plenty of sales.

@Channel4 Any good promoter, given the opportunity to appear on ‘other people’s platforms’ should staunchly promote himself, and whatever he has to sell.

Boris Johnson 'fired' for promoting his book, elated Trump supporters in Florida and downbeat Dems in Washington - here's how the #C4AmericaDecides has unfolded so far. Watch NOW on @channel4 until 6am. #USAElections2024

Whatever you sell, never forget: your market is not logical. This cigarette filter ad — from 1932 — is a good reminder. It’s even endorsed by sportsmen to promote ‘fitness’. This delusional biassed thinking hasn’t changed. Just look at the recent UK & US election madness.

Probably written by someone that has never sold toe-to-toe, nose-to-nose. But hey, it ticks the box for a SEO-laden article…

@EndWokeness Is this the shit you guys are listening to over there?

The View: We must censor social media to prevent this from happening again

And the money already starts to roll in after Trump’s Victory…

@NoContextBrits An axiomatic truth

Being British is wanting to move to America as a child then thinking “fuck that” as an adult.

@laithwaites Yeah, you sell to those new customers only that cost 5X more than existing ones. Hopefully you are running ads to loyalty, too.

AN EXTRA 30% OFF NEARLY EVERYTHING! Includes selected fizz, bestsellers and more – with FREE delivery (normally £7.99). Use code 30OFF to unlock extra savings. New customers only. T&Cs apply.

An ‘anti-sales’ article out, warning consumers about sales tactics. Title below. Let me tell you something: If it weren’t for sales people, business owners & entrepreneurs selling ideas, pushing products/services/prices every day — we’d be stuck somewhere in the Middle Ages.

This guy, Jon Peters, is a a pro at shrewd self-appraisal and self-promotion. The Hollywood Reporter calls him (or he probably insisted on the titular titles himself): “former hairdresser turned Trump-loving, sex-addicted wild man producer.” Study him.
