From the former CEO of Ogilvy & Mather, the first biography of advertising maverick David Ogilvy

Famous for his colorful personality and formidable intellect, David Ogilvy left an indelible mark on the advertising world, transforming it into a dynamic industry full of passionate, creative individuals. This first-ever biography traces Ogilvy's remarkable life, from his short-lived college education and undercover work during World War II to his many successful years in New York advertising. Ogilvy's fascinating life and career make for an intriguing study from both a biographical and a business standpoint.

The King of Madison Avenue is based on a wealth of material from decades of working alongside the advertising giant, including a large collection of photos, memos, recordings, notes, and extensive archives of Ogilvy's personal papers. The book describes the creation of some of history's most famous advertising campaigns, such as:

* "The man in the Hathaway shirt" with his aristocratic eye patch
* "The man from Schweppes is here" with Commander Whitehead, the elegant bearded Brit, introducing tonic water (and "Schweppervesence") to the U.S.
* Perhaps the most famous automobile headline of all time--"At 60 miles an hour the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce comes from the electric clock."
* "Pablo Casals is coming home--to Puerto Rico." Ogilvy said this campaign, which helped change the image of a country, was his proudest achievement.
* And his greatest (if less recognized) sales success--"DOVE creams your skin while you wash."

Roman also carries Ogilvy's message into the present day, showing the contemporary relevance of the bottom-line focus for which his business ventures are remembered, and how this approach is still key for professionals in the modern advertising world.

Best lotion I have ever used!
Size: 2.53 Ounce (Pack of 1)
If you like a very strong fragrance, you will love this. This smell more like chocolate. I absolutely love the smell. It's a little oily when you first put it on, but after about 10 minutes there is no stickiness. It's really good at keeping your skin soft. If you have ashy spots, like elbows, this will get rid of that within a couple applications. This is also thicker consistency, whereas the "Radiant" version is watery. The Radiant version is easy to find, but this version is harder to find. So, if you like it, I would recommend you by enough to last. I get the feeling this is not going to be available soon.

Glow and fight crepey neck!
Size: 0.42 Fl Oz (Pack of 6)
Favorite in my routine. I love Vaseline lotions and this is a perfect last step to my neck and hands every morning. Gives a boost of hydration and a nice glow to my neck. I think this is keeping me from crepey neck skin. Gotta fight that ladies! I use this several times a day and have it to all my friends for Xmas.
