Claude C. Hopkins ist einer der ganz großen Namen und Pioniere im Anzeigengeschäft! Er lebte und wirkte bis Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts; Hopkins hat einige sehr bedeutende strategische Grundlagen des Marketings sowie des Inserierens erarbeitet, die bis heute fortwirken und rege eingesetzt werden, denn sie haben an Aktualität nichts eingebüßt. Im Gegenteil. Auch wenn sich die Medien in den letzten 100 Jahren rasant weiter entwickelt haben, das auf Papier gedruckte Wort längst nicht mehr das Feld beherrscht , zwinkern uns die zunächst etwas "fossil" anmutenden Mechanismen der Kundengewinnung, die Hopkins eingeführt hat, gerade auch heute sehr wirkungsvoll - selbst aus dem Cyberspace - zu.
