Thanks Rob. That is very true. And what makes those words sink in so successfully is that they are invariably a sharply worded, deeply emotional connection between how the business makes money, and the customers who spend that money.
This the shizzle (and, out of respect for Snoop, I call that a word). In fact, while the idea contained in the words is primary, the fact that they can also both begin and conclude a conversation is the beautiful baggage that comes along for the ride. The best of them echo in the mind, as if spoken; but evoking both verbal and associations. That's why Nike is likely the GOAT in this category — their words unfailingly "speak to us."
The words — the tag line — are an idea. The words are a platform. The words are possibilities. The words are the shortest, clearest story of what a brand stands for. Words matter in advertising, and I will die on this hill.

Well said.
Modalities change. Language endures.

Needed this reminder. I’m stepping into the arena and I was too focused on pricing. Words are the takeaway in this business.

No argument from me, that’s for damn sure.
