This old pro copywriter — Greek, named Teddy

BUT he also talked about a deeper bond with the product
NOSTALGIA — it’s delicate BUT potent
Now, go ahead and answer Seth Godin’s question: “Which comes first, the product or the marketing?”
(It pays to watch TV. If all else fails, just read Seth Godin)
