Advertising is a form of communication that typically attempts to persuade potential

customers to purchase or to consume more of a particular brand of product or service.

Many advertisements are designed to generate increased consumption of those products and

services through the creation and reinforcement of "brand image" and "brand loyalty". For

these purposes, advertisements sometimes embed their persuasive message with factual

information. Every major medium is used to deliver these messages, including television,

radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards. Advertising

is often placed by an advertising agency on behalf of a company or other organization.

Advertisements are seen on the seats of shopping carts, on the walls of an airport walkway,

on the sides of buses,and are heard in telephone hold messages and in-store public address systems.

Advertisements are often placed anywhere an audience can easily or frequently access visual,

audio and printed information.But advertising can be something like this ....
