Advertising Headline of the Week

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

Last week's problem:

The client is known for their ecological sensitivity. This is a catalog of products made from sustainable sources. A portion of profits will be donated to an organization that saves rainforests. The cover headline should be a statement of principle, tying all these points together.

The only thing we can justly take from nature is inspiration. Everything else, we borrow.

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:

A newspaper is promoting its classified advertising. We need a headline that dramatizes the paper's advertising reach and immediacy. Key fact: The paper counts 50,000 nurses among its readership.

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.
