The Father of Advertising, David Ogilvy, is not only important to people who make a living in that industry but to a much wider range of folks. This is what happens when you're so good in a field or are very smart that your insights and track record catch the attention of plenty of different people.
Like the one above on leadership which we've used to compare two PMs of Mauritius. Or the famous Rolls-Royce headline that we've quoted to highlight how we're lucky to have such a good constitution that includes the FPTP, the best electoral system in the world, and at the same time draw the attention of voters of the necessity of treading very carefully.
Naturally, Mr. Ogilvy's body of work in advertising is priceless in doing that lifelong activity called explaining. This stems largely from staying curious and sticking to the facts for decades.
