If you are reading this, you are weird. You are weird because you give a sh*t about advertising. You notice when the ads you’ve made appear in front of you on the telly. You remember when your competitors’ ads pop up on Facebook … You have opinions about it … Now, it’s totally natural that you give a sh*t about advertising. Your rent or your mortgage depends on it. But that doesn’t make you any less weird. And this is a problem, because the people we are advertising to aren’t weird. They are normal. They don’t give a sh*t about advertising.
