John Caples
Author and former Vice-President of BBDO
“My recommendation is: read ANYTHING you can get your hands on that was written by John Caples, books, ads, ANYTHING“
John Caples was Vice President of BBDO, Inc. when he retired after 40 years of service with the nation’s third largest advertising agency. The creator of such classic ads as “They Laughed When I Sat Down at the Piano” and “They Grinned When the Waiter Spoke to Me in French,” and a member of the Copywriters’s Halls of Fame, Mr. Caples built a nationwide reputation for his research and scientific methods of testing advertising effectiveness.
