Summary Table of Contents

What if Bill Bernbach and Hunter Thompson wrote a how-to book on advertising? It would be a searing, very funny cross between an insider2s guide to writing great ads and a sendup of all that2s heavy-handed, dim-witted, and ineffectual in advertising. This pretty much sums up "Hey, Whipple, Squeeze This." by Luke Sullivan, one of today2s most successful copywriters working at one of the most prestigious advertising agencies. A relentless wisecracker, Sullivan provides pointers, tips, and guidelines on how to write and produce successful ads for ... MOREprint, TV, radio, billboards, and more, while regaling you with hilarious war stories. "Luke Sullivan writes just about as relevant an advertising read as you can get. It2s a perfect lesson in advertising for newcomers-and a familiar and laughably painful reminiscence for those of us entrenched in this noble and often crazy profession." -Lee Clow, Chairman, TBWA Chiat/Day, Chief Creative Officer, Worldwide "Luke Sullivan knows the business and writes about it with . . . gentle wit and insight." -Dan G. Wieden, Wieden & Kennedy "The most informative and entertaining book about life as it really is in the creative department of an advertising agency. Even account men could write great ads after reading it." -Tim Delaney, Leagas-Delaney, London "In an advertising world filled with glib, fast-talking 2experts2 more adept at arranging lunch than writing ads, Luke Sullivan is the exception. Here, at last, is a step-by-step primer for anyone interested in writing effective, powerful, breakthrough ads." -Tom McElligott, co-founder, Fallon McElligott

A funny, irreverent overview of the good, the bad, and the ugly in advertising. "Plop plop fizz fizz, oh what a relief it is...." Will anyone ever be able to forget this ad? There are certain ads that stay with us for the long haul-whether we want them to or not-usually because they have an incredibly catchy slogan or a completely annoying jingle that most of us will still be able to recite verbatim about twenty years down the road when even the address to our home seems a bit foggy. But if you work in an ad agency, you hope to create the catchy slogan instead of the annoying jingle, right? Luke Sullivan, a copywriter at one of the nation2s most prestigious ad agencies, divulges all the secrets to making a great ad. With hysterical examples and anecdotes, he gives tips and pointers on how to create an ad that will "go in one ear and stay there." Sullivan analyzes some of the best known and most appealing ads of all time as well as some of the most annoying ads ever created-including the eponymous Mr. Whipple. The book covers ads for all the various types of media: print, TV commercials, radio spots, billboards and direct mail. Luke Sullivan (Minneapolis, Minnesota) is an award-winning copywriter at Fallon McElligott, an advertising agency which has developed campaigns for Time Magazine, Lee Jeans, Jim Beam Whiskey, and BMW, among others. Fallon McElligott was just named "Ad Agency of the Year" by AdWeek.
