To Seth Godin

1. Direct Response Advertising
• Works the same way as old school mailers• Designed to elicit a specific action• Today, direct response advertising is done via
virtual channels – email, social media, etc.• It can be targeted based on geography and
demographics making it more effective and efficient
• If done right, it leads to immediate results• The entire process is measurable – from
unopened emails to actual conversions• Easily replicable

2. Truth Advertising• Advertising that tells a story, advertising
about belief and not necessarily action• Example: m&m’s “Better With M” campaign• Truth ads are great for branding, given three
conditions:1. You already have a recognizable brand or
product2. You have enough money to release ads
regularly3. You don’t mind not being able to have
measurable direct communication between your campaigns and your audience

3. Demand Enhancement Advertising
• All about persuasion• As per Seth Godin: “Ads that remind us
that on a hot day, we’d like a cold drink”
• Example: Sprite’s Beach Shower Installation
• It is hard to measure• Works only if you already have a
recognizable brand or product • It can cost a lot of money
