Top 10 Taglines

A tagline helps define your brand and can make your small business stand out in an over-advertised society. TaglineGuru's president, Eric Swartz lists some losing and winning taglines. Bad taglines leave you wondering...what was that company thinking of? The tagline hall of shame includes: Eat Jimmy Dean....Jimmy Dean, Is That a Playtex Under There?...Playtex, We Put People in Front of Cars...Stillwell Ford. Swartz had 100 leading advertising, marketing, and branding professionals rank over 300 submitted nominations. The top winners since 1948 (since the advent of TV) are all memorable.
