“I've started to believe that the agency business is a great ingredient...” — Steve Stoute Quote

“I've started to believe that the agency business is a great ingredient of a much bigger business - more than just what typical advertising agencies have done.”

“Hip-hop started as this niche moment, and the values of it, the cultures that it carried on its back; language, clothes, the way you wear your clothes, the items that you consume, all came with the music as an art form. And those things helped transform how people buy, shop, speak, engage.”

“I realized how far-reaching the effect of hip hop was when I walked by a jewelry store named Bling in a small, rural town in France. Hip hop has made a huge impact on urban culture. Yet many brands still don't speak to young people in a tone and manner that's representative of them.”

“Advertising is the life of trade.”

“It is the growth of advertising in this country which, more than any single element, has brought the American magazine to its present enviable position in points of literary, illustrative and mechanical excellence.”

“I'm Phil Knight, and I don't believe in advertising.”
