Great blog! I’m sure there are many MORE strategies if you look for them. I have a list too.

Don’t stop looking! I am getting started very late in life in advertising. Yes, I am going to do freelance advertising. And I CAN do it, Marcus, WITH formulas. How dare you discourage another human being from trying to better themselves. We’ll chain you to a mind-numbing boring job and see how you like it.

There is always one arrogant person like Marcus is every field. Only he can do it. He knows all. God forbid if you try to create something with your puny little mind. I once started a naming company. On a trademark forum there was a lawyer who literally ripped apart every bit of advice I gave to persons interested in trademarkable names. Seems I was “wrong” about every word I spoke. Hello Marcus. Unbelievable. Never give up people. You can reach greatness.

Most of them are funniest than functional. I mean, I wouldn’t go to Dr. Miller, for example. Looks aggressive.

In general, good ideas… not so functional, but good.

Ads are harmful, what happened to manuals?

How did we get here, world? Blind folded?

I like your post. I had been looking for some information like this for myself. But, I think it’s funny how many of the ads leave me wondering what they are supposed to be about and what they are trying to sell. Also, at least a couple are pretty offensive, to me. I guess that is negative strategy.

Cool, awesome selections. And whats up with Marcus, creativity is different with everyone but without the basics it won’t have much impact. It’s like getting all the most expensive and classy materials to build a house but than you don’t even put a foundation…It will fall with a slight change in the wind.

[...] I stumbled across a great blog today that attempted to categorise advertising strategies. Based on an analysis of The Advertising Concept Book by Pete Barry, it’s a really useful list of advertising approaches that underscores that it’s the quality of the original idea and the associated strategic thinking that really make great campaigns. Check it out here. [...]
