Great Quote!

At the National Advertising Division conference in New York City last week, I had the pleasure of listening to Jonathan Baskin, a marketing consultant who emphasizes the importance of truth in advertising.

He said many things that resonated with me, but here’s one that really struck me (thanks AdWeek for reminding me):

“We slice and dice the truth, without necessarily communicating the rest of the truth. We’ve also embellished it. Sometimes we ignore it completely,” Baskin said. “Advertising today is a truth-free zone.”
