David Ogilvy is the King of Copywriting.
And in 1982 he writes a 38 lesson manifesto titled
"How to create advertising that sells"
Here are the top 7 tips that you can use today:
We Make the Wrong Promise
A promise is not a random claim or stupid slogan.
It is a benefit for the consumer.
And the product delivers that benefit.
Awards are Dumb
"Pursuing creative awards seduces creative people from pursuing sales."
Translation:
If your job is to sell, focus 100% of your energy on selling the product.
Not selling yourself to voters to win an award.
"Nobody was ever bored into buying a product."
Give it some magic and charm.
The iPhone vs. Blackberry is a modern
Hit the Headline
"On average, 5 times as many people read the headline vs. the body."
People are scared of writing clickbait titles.
But the truth is that clickbait exists only when you fail to keep your promise to the reader.

Recently, the @CNIL issued a decision regarding the GDPR compliance of an unknown French adtech company named "Vectaury". It may seem like small fry, but the decision has potential wide-ranging impacts for Google, the IAB framework, and today's adtech. It's thread time! 👇
It's all in French, but if you're up for it you can read:
• Their blog post (lacks the most interesting details): https://t.co/PHkDcOT1hy
• Their high-level legal decision: https://t.co/hwpiEvjodt
• The full notification: https://t.co/QQB7rfynha
I've read it so you needn't!
Vectaury was collecting geolocation data in order to create profiles (eg. people who often go to this or that type of shop) so as to power ad targeting. They operate through embedded SDKs and ad bidding, making them invisible to users.
The @CNIL notes that profiling based off of geolocation presents particular risks since it reveals people's movements and habits. As risky, the processing requires consent — this will be the heart of their assessment.
Interesting point: they justify the decision in part because of how many people COULD be targeted in this way (rather than how many have — though they note that too). Because it's on a phone, and many have phones, it is considered large-scale processing no matter what.
