- Caples was one of advertising's most influential copywriters. After graduation from the Naval Academy at Annapolis, Caples began his advertising career at Ruthrauff & Ryan in 1925, during the decade in which advertising began to assume its modern form, both in style and organizational structure. In 1927, Caples moved to Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborne (BBDO), to work alongside Bruce Barton, an advertising legend and pioneer of direct mail. Remained at BBDO 55 years, and reshaped the field of direct response advertising.

Tested Advertising Methods (Prentice Hall Business… di John Caples
Get the Fourth Edition or earlier. The Fifth Edition was published after Caples' death and was much watered down and muddied by the editors. I doubt Caples, who spent decades refining this book during his lifetime, would have approved of it.
Didnt think that a book on proven advertising methods would have some valuable ideas for me. I do a lot of direct mail and needed some ideas on how to differentiate my methods over direct competitors. This book actually had some great ideas that I could use and the others regarding testing ads and writing more effective ads were noted and may be useful some time in my career.
