Even Utah advertising agencies seek inspiration from great copywriters, and consumers are sophisticated inasmuch as they understand amazing copy’s deep-seated effects on their purchasing decisions. The following writers’ copy and ad concepts alike spurn the heart to action, kick starting and gassing the feet beneath it toward the store. Chances are, their way with words has had their way with you. Without further ado, the greatest copywriters of all time.

Don Delillo

A writer as adept with copy as he is with the novel, it’s difficult to establish whether he is a copywriter who writes novels, or a novelist who is also a copywriter. And yes, we admit it: this list was basically created for him – our brightest copy genius, for all time.
