Oh my god - you're way too kind - and I promise you, you'd be bored to tears by my grocery lists and actually, most of the bla bla bla I churn out. I only show the stuff I think people might not wish I'd kept to myself! xx
Well coming from you, David, that's the compliment of a lifetime. I'm in love with your writing, as you know. And you have many an advertising story to tell, as we all know!
I LOVE learning about the incredible cast of characters you got to work with — and what a legendary campaign! I second what your friend Nikhil says: write a book.
Oh my gosh what an incredible compliment - thank you! It takes me about an hour to write a sentence, so if there's a book in me, it'll be a looooong time coming!
Haha! I know how you feel. I think it's a documentary. Wonderful writing. I laughed and cried knowing what it feels like to straighten my hair and let it be "real". Got here via Witold Riedel's writing today.
Wow, what a story. Fascinating. And...love your curls!
Thank you, Karen. Advertising provides us all with lots of stories (some better than others, right?)
Fascinating advertising campaign history shared by the inimitable Debra Fried. I'd read anything this woman writes, including her grocery list!

Love your article! Thank you!
Did this famous campaign increase Dove’s sales?
Hi Sheri - thank you so much! Yes - the campaign increased Dove's sales in a huge way. Their sales doubled, in fact!
You captured a moment that needs to be remembered. Way to go,Deb. So well told.

I can't thank you enough, Molly! The characters were incredible and I was lucky to know and work with every one of them.
This is beautiful, Debra. What a fantastic story!
Thank you so much, Ken.
Amazing! You need to write a book.

Killer title, too!
That was George's suggestion. I should have given him credit.
That guy! The rest of the writing is fabulous, too.
