In 1923, Claude Hopkins published a book that forever changed the way the world thinks about selling.
Decades later, a young David Ogilvy — the man who would build the most respected ad agency on Earth — read that book and said:
“Nobody, at any level, should be allowed to have anything to do with advertising until he has read this book seven times. It changed the course of my life.”
He was not alone
Drayton Bird, legendary British copywriter and teacher at Ogilvy & Mather, calls Claude Hopkins:
“The greatest advertising man who ever lived. There is nothing that matters today that he didn’t already do 100 years ago — and usually better.”
The book was : Scientific Advertising
The classic guide to making your marketing work—measurably and profitably.
If you already have a great product or service, the next challenge is clear: how do you craft a message that resonates deeply with your customers’ needs, desires, and decision-making instincts? Scientific Advertising by Claude C. Hopkins is the definitive playbook for answering that question.
Widely regarded as the foundation of modern direct-response marketing, this timeless book replaces guesswork with proven strategies. Hopkins reveals how to create advertising that doesn’t just look good or entertain—it sells.
In the pages of this classic, you’ll learn how to:
✅ Craft persuasive messages built on customer psychology
✅ Inspire action without hype or manipulation
✅ Use visuals to support—not distract from—your message
✅ Drive response with tools like coupons, samples, and direct mail
✅ Run simple tests to maximize return on your ad spend
Credited as the “father of modern advertising,” Hopkins revolutionized the field with practical techniques still used today in digital marketing, email campaigns, and conversion-focused content.
Whether you’re a business owner, marketer, or copywriter, Scientific Advertising gives you a blueprint for building marketing that works—and proves it works.
So why haven’t most of us read this book yet?
Because the original is buried in 1920s language and examples. It doesn't sound relatable in the today's modern world of Internet & digital marketing.

Claude Hopkins invented:

➤ The very idea of “advertising as salesmanship”
Long before split testing and funnels were cool, he was testing headlines, measuring response, and obsessing over ROI.
In fact, he made $185,000 per year in 1908 (worth over $600K today) because his copy worked — and kept working.
