"Rather dated in its advice; Ogilvy treats television as an emerging medium. But otherwise interesting insights that are easily relatable to any business environment, as opposed to strictly advertising."
"David Ogilvy is a legend for a reason...goshh he's so self-assured for one...but he really knows ads and selling and know that in many other things he has no idea, so that ability to admit what you dont know is kind of good. I enjoyed the content and the stories of his life, but I dont know why...it is kind of hard to get through. Could it be language was kind of old fashioned for me? He writes with authoritative air too, a lot of it, and it's one voice I am not particularly fond of. But who am I kidding I mean, he is one of the great guru of ads, so maybe he should be authoritative!"
