Founder, M.C. Weil Agency – first ad woman
In 1880, 40 years before women's suffrage, Mathilde C. Weil opened the M.C. Weil Agency in New York. She was the first woman to establish a general agency and America's first ad woman.
Ms. Weil emigrated from Germany in the early 1870s. Following the sudden death of her husband, Ms. Weil took work as a translator -- she was proficient in English, German, French and Spanish -- and then as a newspaper and magazine writer. But when Ms. Weil started buying and selling ad space for a German newspaper, she knew there was a better living to be made in advertising.
Serving as a liaison among advertisers and the publications, most of Ms. Weil's billings came from her profitable proprietary medicine accounts. Other types of accounts were handled by her partners, Mary Compton and Meta Volkman. Ms. Weil ran her agency, housed in The New York Times Building, until her death in 1903.
The first ad woman (or Mad Woman) on record was Mathilde C. Weil. She moved from Germany to New York in 1870. Not long after, her husband died, leaving her with no means of support. So she began booking magazine space for a friend, then decided to start her own agency, called The M.C. Weil Agency.

Born 1880 – bought his own agency at age of 24 – father of modern advertising “Advertising is salesmanship in print”
1900s – the Age of Lasker (ad isn’t selling space, it’s selling what’s inside that space)
Invented the “reason why” people bought a product
Tracked results
Invented “pre-emption” – developing a claim that only one product can use. “Lucky cigarettes are toasted.”
Albert Davis Lasker (May 1, 1880 – May 30, 1952) was an American businessman who is often considered to be the founder of modern advertising. He was born in Freiburg, Germany when his American parents Morris and Nettie (Heidenheimer) Davis Lasker were visiting their ancestral homeland. He was raised in Galveston, Texas, where his father was the president of several banks.[1] In Chicago, he became a partner in the advertising firm of Lord & Thomas, later purchasing the firm. He had many successful ad campaigns and made new use of radio for them, changing popular culture and appealing to consumers' psychology. He was elected to the American National Business Hall of Fame.
Claude C. Hopkins (1866–1932) was one of the great advertising pioneers. He believed advertising existed only to sell something and should be measured and justified by the results it produced.
He worked for various advertisers, including Bissell Carpet Sweeper Company, Swift & Company and Dr. Shoop's patent medicine company. At the age of 41, he was hired by Albert Lasker owner of Lord & Thomas advertising in 1907 at a salary of $185,000 a year, Hopkins insisted copywriters research their clients' products and produce "reason-why" copy. He believed that a good product was often its own best salesperson, and as such he was a great believer in sampling.
To track the results of his advertising, he used key coded coupons and then tested headlines, offers and propositions against one another. He used the analysis of these measurements to continually improve his ad results, driving responses and the cost effectiveness of his clients' advertising spend.
His classic book, "Scientific Advertising," was published in 1923, following his retirement from Lord & Thomas, where he finished his career as president and chairman. He died in 1932. Charles Duhigg credits Hopkins with popularizing tooth brushing, as a result of Hopkins' campaigns for Pepsodent. [1]
This book was followed, in 1927, by his autobiographical work "My Life in Advertising.”
Salesmanship arrived in 20s. Claude Hopkins’ “Scientific Advertising” became the bible of ad men.

Raymond Rubicam's innovative leadership and creativity led many to recognize him as "advertising's statesman." Because his creative concepts and innovations have continued to play an important role in advertising as we know it today many people consider him the "father of modern advertising".

Golden era of advertising from 40s to 50s… audiences wanted to “keep up with the Jones’s”
The unique selling proposition (USP), or unique selling point, or "'unique selling product"' or "' unique selling price"' is a marketing concept first proposed as a theory to explain a pattern in successful advertising campaigns of the early 1940s. The USP states that such campaigns made unique propositions to the customer that convinced them to switch brands. The term was developed by television advertising pioneer Rosser Reeves of Ted Bates & Company. Theodore Levitt, a professor at Harvard Business School, suggested that, "Differentiation is one of the most important strategic and tactical activities in which companies must constantly engage."[1] The term has been used to describe one's "personal brand" in the marketplace.[2] Today, the term is used in other fields or just casually to refer to any aspect of an object that differentiates it from similar objects.
