The Power of Saying Less: How Great Ads Make ONE Unforgettable Point


Listen Later

What makes a message unforgettable?

In this episode of Todd Liles and the Wizard of Ads, Todd and Roy break down one of the most powerful lessons in advertising:

It's not what you say — it's what you leave out.

From the porcupine vs. rhinoceros analogy to lessons from Procter & Gamble, Chanel No. 5, and Kessler's Jewelers, you'll learn why focus beats volume, and how simplicity can make your message hit harder than ever.

In this episode, you'll learn: – Why most ads fail by trying to say too much – How "rhinoceros ads" make one unforgettable point – The danger of brand dilution and how to avoid it – What Chanel No. 5 and Ferrari can teach you about identity – How Procter & Gamble dominates by simplifying, not expanding – Why you should always write for one person — not the jury

Todd and Roy close with one of Roy's timeless truths: "The opposite of a profound truth is often another profound truth."

Both simplicity and expansion can work — if you're conscious, consistent, and bold enough to choose.

If you enjoyed the episode, subscribe, review, and share the show with a business owner who refuses to be ordinary. Because in business, the bold win—and the remarkable reign.
