The Power of Saying Less: How Great Ads Make ONE Unforgettable Point
Description
What makes a message unforgettable?
In this episode of Todd Liles and the Wizard of Ads, Todd and Roy break down one of the most powerful lessons in advertising:
It's not what you say — it's what you leave out.
From the porcupine vs. rhinoceros analogy to lessons from Procter & Gamble, Chanel No. 5, and Kessler's Jewelers, you'll learn why focus beats volume, and how simplicity can make your message hit harder than ever.
In this episode, you'll learn:
– Why most ads fail by trying to say too much
– How "rhinoceros ads" make one unforgettable point
– The danger of brand dilution and how to avoid it
– What Chanel No. 5 and Ferrari can teach you about identity
– How Procter & Gamble dominates by simplifying, not expanding
– Why you should always write for one person — not the jury
Todd and Roy close with one of Roy's timeless truths:
"The opposite of a profound truth is often another profound truth."
Both simplicity and expansion can work — if you're conscious, consistent, and bold enough to choose.
