The :30 Second Candidate
Do your own interview of the experts.
5 What can you learn about candidates from watching their ads?

BOB SQUIER replies:

I think you can learn a lot through advertising, especially if you're willing to take a step back. And to try to ask yourself "What are they trying to get me to think with this ad?"

I think if you can go through that intellectual process alone, that you'll learn a lot from advertising. You'll also learn a lot from advertising if, when responsible gate keepers like newspapers, do television boxes that compare the ads.
