Benefits Before Features

Steve Jobs: And then they tried "Got Milk..."
On this day in 1804, the Vice President of United States mortally wounded Alexander Hamilton in a duel in New Jersey (on the same spot where Hamilton's son was also killed in a duel, three years earlier).

Fast forward to 1993 when the first "Got Milk" commercial aired about the duel.

Four years later, Steve Jobs referred to this successful commercial when launching the "Think Different" ad campaign since it was about brand and benefits, not features. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zyeSTEcNgk
