2. WHAT IS ADVERTISING ?
According to American Marketing Association(AMA), Advertising
means any paid form of non personal presentation and promotion
of idea, goods or services by an identified sponsor.
Advertising is a one way exchange that is impersonal in format.
There is little empirical evidence of effect of creative messaging
on purchase behavior and sales revenue.
However, Creative advertising is more memorable, works with less
media spending, and builds a fan community... Faster.
The conventional wisdom thus persists that creativity in
advertisements matters.
