“I'm proud to say that I'm in advertising.”
“You hire well and just make sure you have enough runway for everyone to grow in the company's success. It creates loyalty and opportunity, really.”
“We're in the business of influence. And if we're going to be in partnership with anybody, I want it to be with people who have amazing access and influence.”
“When I first made some comment when we launched that part of our purpose was to do stuff that has social ripples, lots of people said it was such a glib thing to say. I actually believe that.”
“If people know they're being sold to, you can celebrate the sell.”
“Do the work you believe in - if there's an authentic reason for doing it.”
“If you can allow yourself to do more good with your creativity by being successful, then that's a great thing.”
“People who want to express themselves effectively can learn a lot from the hard-won concision of the copywriter.”
“Your campaign shouldn't just die the day you spend your last cent.”
“Our work can always get better, and we are constantly striving for that.”
“Do something great that you really believe is great.”
“I was always obsessed with being a writer of some sort.”
“Online is amazing, but it, in itself, is not a solution.”
“If we can find our storytelling in more complimentary ways with the technology, I think it's just going to get better and better.”
“Caring makes you want to work harder.”
“I set up Droga5 because I really believe in the power of advertising. But I believe in the power of advertising that's in synch with what consumers want.”
“Generosity is as much showing your vulnerability as it is your passion for something.”
“Just because you can do something, it doesn't mean you need to - restraint is something I admire.”
“A lot of people ask what it takes to move from being a creative to a leader: Take everyone's career personally. People will work hard for you if you work hard for them. Any idiot can be a boss; all you need is a title. But to be a leader, you need to earn respect and have an opinion you stand by.”
“I don't want to sound too worthy here, but I want to do something that honestly contributes something positive to society.”
