🤓Advertising trivia! Who remembers The Jolly Green Giant, the Pillsbury Dough Boy, Keebler Elves, Tony the Tiger, United’s “fly the friendly skies”, the Marlboro Man…

🔺Leo Burnett, an American advertising executive and founder of the Leo Burnett Company, Inc. was responsible for creating these and some of the 20th century’s most well known characters and advertising campaigns.

🔺In 1935, when Burnett opened his new company he always kept a bowl of apples on the reception desk. People laughed and said that he would soon be selling apples on the street. However, the company survived and its offices all around the globe still keep a bowl of apples on their reception desk. It has now become a symbol of Leo Burnett’s hospitality.🍎

🔺He used to keep a notebook at hand. Whenever he heard something interesting, something poignant and honest, he would write it down in that notebook. He called it ‘Corny Language’ file.✏️📕

🔺This is one of our favorite quotes from Leo Burnett which still applies to advertising today!
