Advertising Headline of the Week

(This copywriting quiz is a demonstration, not a request.)

Last week's problem:

Need a tag line for Rose Exterminators. They do good work (maybe better than anyone around), and their commercials are kind of fun.

Hover for Headline

An exterminator by any other name would not be as good as Rose.

Strong headlines are critical in Advertising. But successful marketing communication takes more than a headline or turn of phrase. My broad perspective and capabilities will help us find fresh, efficient solutions. Contact me now.

For next time:

We're selling a boat used for competitive fishing. It's got a special hull design that enables it to venture into sea conditions that have other boats stuck at the dock.

I'll post a solution next week!

Highly overstated legal statement, disclaimer and general tush-covering: For clients' protection, none of this is recent, and there is no current need. Please do NOT send me your own headlines! This was just one of many possible solutions. Any unsolicited submission will become my property without acknowledgement, consideration, obligation or so much as a thank-you. The work shown here is my own, and any similarity to other work, past or present, is purely coincidental. Project may have been academic or speculative. Situation may be simplified or enlarged for illustrative purposes, and/or headline modified to remove marketer's name. Nothing here implies an endorsement of my services by the marketer, agency, or anyone else. The ad headlines shown here are chosen partly for entertainment value, and are not necessarily my first-choice recommendation to client. By the way, the capital of North Dakota is Bismarck.
