The craving for information is so huge now, and it can be marketed at such a rapid rate.

A lot of advertising has gotten worse. I think it’s kind of lost its nerve, to be honest with you. I feel like the advertising of the ’60s, they were nervier. You know why? Because there was less at stake.

Promise, large promise, is the soul of an advertisement.

Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.

We were told our campaign wasn’t sufficiently slick. We regard that as a compliment.

The path to the CEO’s office should not be through the CFO’s office, and it should not be through the marketing department. It needs to be through engineering and design.

Information helps you to see that you’re not alone. That there’s somebody in Mississippi and somebody in Tokyo who all have wept, who’ve all longed and lost, who’ve all been happy. So the library helps you to see, not only that you are not alone, but that you’re not really any different from everyone else.

I do not have a merchandise line. I don’t sell knives or apparel. Though I have been approached to endorse various products from liquor to airlines to automobiles to pharmaceuticals dozens of times, I have managed to resist the temptation.

Even more amazing than modern technology is our opportunity to access information directly from Heaven, without hardware, software, or monthly service fees.

I’ve had big record label presidents look me in the face and say, ‚Your music sucks, you don’t know who you are, your music is all over the place, and we don’t know how to market this stuff. Pick a lane and come back to us.‘

All knowledge which ends in words will die as quickly as it came to life, with the exception of the written word: which is its mechanical part.

Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable.

When it comes down to my brand, We the Best, we’re about the people and whoever is passionate and in love the way I’m in love when it comes down to the headphones I’m promoting.

Facts are stubborn things.

There are some teams and logos you see, no matter where you are in the world, and you know exactly who they are and what they mean.

And now, of course this is another thing I didn’t count on, that now as the governor of the state of California, I am selling California worldwide. You see that? Selling.

As a general rule, the most successful man in life is the man who has the best information.

I don’t like to give advice. I like to give people information because everyone’s life is different, and everyone’s journey is different.

I became a journalist partly so that I wouldn’t ever have to rely on the press for my information.

I would never do a commercial if I thought it was offensive to anyone.

Advertising is the rattling of a stick inside a swill bucket.

As Bromberger observed, rules are understood to be elements of the computational systems that determine the sound and meaning of the infinite array of expressions of a language; the information so derived is accessed by other systems in language use.

The smarter the journalists are, the better off society is. For to a degree, people read the press to inform themselves – and the better the teacher, the better the student body.

We’re news junkies in my house.

Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don’t have for something they don’t need.

All of the books in the world contain no more information than is broadcast as video in a single large American city in a single year. Not all bits have equal value.

Steve Jobs‘ ability to focus in on a few things that count, get people who get user interface right, and market things as revolutionary are amazing things.

Advertising works most effectively when it’s in line with what people are already trying to do. And people are trying to communicate in a certain way on Facebook – they share information with their friends, they learn about what their friends are doing – so there’s really a whole new opportunity for a new type of advertising model within that.

Prices are important not because money is considered paramount but because prices are a fast and effective conveyor of information through a vast society in which fragmented knowledge must be coordinated.

Newspapers are the second hand of history. This hand, however, is usually not only of inferior metal to the other hands, it also seldom works properly.

Information is the oxygen of the modern age. It seeps through the walls topped by barbed wire, it wafts across the electrified borders.

I always wanted to have a headphone line but I feel like I’m going to do more than just headphones eventually, but we want to wake the world up right now with this.

I’m skeptical of any mission that has advertisers at its centerpiece.

But, the thing is, since I always had my own little shop and direct access to the public, I’ve been able to build up a technique without marketing people ever telling me what the public wants.

Your premium brand had better be delivering something special, or it’s not going to get the business.

A popular government without popular information or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce, or a tragedy, or perhaps both.

To me, we’re marketing hope.

I don’t follow politics much.

Advertising is a racket, like the movies and the brokerage business. You cannot be honest without admitting that its constructive contribution to humanity is exactly minus zero.

As a research tool, the internet is invaluable.

I don’t think the intelligence reports are all that hot. Some days I get more out of the New York Times.

There is probably a perverse pride in my administration… that we were going to do the right thing, even if short-term it was unpopular. And I think anybody who’s occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can’t be neglecting of marketing and P.R. and public opinion.

Information, education, skills, healthcare, livelihood, financial inclusion, small and village enterprises, opportunities for women, conservation of natural resources, distributed clean energy – entirely new possibilities have emerged to change the development model.

The majority of people who don’t have Internet, don’t have the Internet because they don’t know why they want to use the Internet.

Driving up the value of the advertising is a big commitment for Microsoft.

What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise although the philosophers generally call it recognition!

Competitions are a business, first and foremost.

Knowledge is of two kinds. We know a subject ourselves, or we know where we can find information upon it.

The deepest principle in human nature is the craving to be appreciated.

The importance of logo into today’s fashion is un! be! Lievable!

In ideal form of social control is an atomised collection of individuals focused on their own narrow concern, lacking the kinds of organisations in which they can gain information, develop and articulate their thoughts, and act constructively to achieve common ends.

Let advertisers spend the same amount of money improving their product that they do on advertising and they wouldn’t have to advertise it.

It’s a fact that more people watch television and get their information that way than read books. I find new technology and new ways of communication very exciting and would like to do more in this field.

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people… They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.

A newspaper is a device for making the ignorant more ignorant and the crazy crazier.

I feel like everything we do comes down to how it looks. Even no branding is branding. For example, you had no face or image to put to my music at first. That was branding.

Brand is just a perception, and perception will match reality over time. Sometimes it will be ahead, other times it will be behind. But brand is simply a collective impression some have about a product.

I used to think information was destroyed in black hole. This was my biggest blunder, or at least my biggest blunder in science.

I think Facebook is an online directory for colleges… If I want to get information about you, I just go to TheFacebook, type in your name, and it hopefully pulls up all the information I’d care to know about you.

Don’t blame the marketing department. The buck stops with the chief executive.

The elections are run by the same industries that sell toothpaste on television.
