Leo Burnett quote: "Good advertising does not just circulate information. It..."
Good advertising does not just circulate information. It penetrates the public mind with desires and belief. Leo Burnett
Unfortunately, the media, which are not at all reluctant to act in their own self-interest, have succeeded in equating reform in the public mind with further restrictions on just about everyone else's freedom of political speech. James L. Buckley
Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again. Grover Cleveland
People tend to assess the relative importance of issues by the ease with which they are retrieved from memory—and this is largely determined by the extent of coverage in the media. Frequently mentioned topics populate the mind even as others slip away from awareness. In turn, what the media choose to report corresponds to their view of what is currently on the public’s mind.
