"Advertising is in a way the most fragile and difficult part to manage of the entire marketing mix: This is because despite all the science available, it is still difficult to establish a direct link between sales and most forms of national advertising. But what we do know is that advertising has to have everything going for it to pay off." – Paul C Harper, chairman, Needham Harper Worldwide
