Rory Sutherland: Life lessons from an ad man [TED]

Advertising adds value to a product by changing our perception, rather than the product itself. Rory Sutherland 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.

Enjoy!

  1. I'd LOVE to see advertising money spent to increase our awareness of the everyday things we take for granted, like Rory commented in his closing statement. And I remember that "ad campaign" about the diamond-shaped Shreddies... hope everybody laughed as hard as I did the first time it aired!
