“Direct and actionable…
refreshingly simple.”

Gil-Ad’s book is direct and actionable. His insights on salesmanship, customer (not company) focused ads and measurable results are refreshingly simple.  After many years in corporate America, “Madvertising” is proving to be a great marketing sanity check in my new role with a small, international consumer products company.

“Anyone who reads this book and doesn’t find a way to profit from it probably should NOT be in business.”

Well done! This book reads like the classics in advertising -- Hopkins and Collier would be proud! I gleaned new insights and the historical anecdotes were fascinating. Honestly, anyone who reads this book and doesn’t find a way to profit from it probably should NOT be in business.

“A must for all businesses.”

An easy and fascinating read into the often misunderstood world of advertising. A must for all businesses to compare and question just how effective their advertising is and more importantly how they could get more “bangs for their bucks” in their advertising budgets.

The fascinating historical anecdotes and the practical examples make for most entertaining reading.

The down to earth good basic advertising principles will surely provide most readers with a multitude of ways to improve their advertising and further develop their business.

“Takes much of the confusion and clutter out of what good advertising is all about.”

Simple, Concise and Credible…

“Madvertising” takes much of the confusion and clutter out of what good advertising is all about and provides the reader with a clear call to action to help improve your brand, your business and your profits.

By stripping back advertising to its barest components and bringing ‘ad copy’back to its original purpose (i.e. Selling) , “Madvertising” will help all small business owners, regardless of their previous marketing skills, to improve the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns.

It doesn’t matter what business you’re in, the strategies and ideas laid out in the book will show you how to create compelling ads that demand your prospects attention and persuade them to buy...

...“Madvertising” teaches you how to create incredibly effective (and profitable) advertising. It’s a fast and fun read, and it makes the process of creating powerful advertising simple. Highly recommended to any business owner who needs a systematic way to drive more leads and sales.
