In this presentation to the TED conference Rory Sutherland, vice president of advertising group Ogilvy, makes a highly engaging case for the real value of advertising.
Advertising adds value to a product by changing our perception, rather than the product itself, he says.
He makes the daring assertion that a change in perceived value can be just as satisfying as what we consider “real” value — and his conclusion has interesting consequences for how we look at life.
Some great insights. Some great jokes. A great presentation.
