Hey, Whipple, Squeeze This: Lessons for Advertisers in a Modern World
Advertising is an art, a science, and a delicate balance between grabbing attention and delivering value. Luke Sullivan’s iconic book, Hey, Whipple, Squeeze This, serves as a timeless guide for advertisers, offering lessons that are just as relevant today as when the book was first published. At Media Discovery NG, located in Lekki Phase 1, Lagos, Nigeria, we apply these principles to create compelling campaigns that resonate across TV stations and digital platforms.
Here’s how Sullivan’s teachings inspire our work and how they can elevate your brand.
1. It’s All About the Customer
Sullivan’s central message is simple: advertising should focus on the customer, not the product. At Media Discovery NG, we craft campaigns that address audience needs, aspirations, and emotions, making every ad a conversation, not a lecture.
Example: Our TV ads combine relatable storytelling with vibrant visuals to connect with viewers on a personal level.
2. Make It Memorable
Sullivan emphasizes the power of creative ideas that stick. From catchy jingles to bold visuals, our campaigns are designed to leave a lasting impression on your audience.
Pro Tip: Pair TV commercials with interactive social media content to keep your message top-of-mind.
3. Humor and Humanity Go a Long Way
People respond to ads that feel human. A touch of humor, warmth, or relatability can make all the difference. Inspired by Hey, Whipple, Squeeze This, we ensure every ad feels authentic and approachable.
Why It Works: Ads with a human touch foster trust and engagement, especially on platforms like TV, where emotional resonance is key.
4. Creativity Backed by Strategy
While creativity is vital, it must be grounded in strategy. Sullivan advocates for ads that are as smart as they are visually striking. At Media Discovery NG, we use data-driven insights to inform creative decisions, ensuring every campaign is both innovative and effective.
Example: Geotargeted TV ads tailored for Lagos audiences ensure maximum relevance and impact.
5. Consistency Across Platforms
Sullivan highlights the importance of cohesive messaging. By aligning your brand voice across TV, social media, and other channels, we help your audience recognize and trust your brand wherever they engage with it.
Why It Matters: A unified strategy amplifies your reach and strengthens brand recall.
