Have you ever bought anything after seeing an advert . . .

2 classic examples of advertising-

what do you write with? A lot of people answer Biro

and is Biro a product or brand name?

same applies to hoover( a vacuum cleaner)

and here’s another - Sellotape ( self adhesive tape)



demonstates the power of advertising where the brand becomes the product.

Interesting. I use staedtler biros, a vax hoover and Scotch tape sellotape.
 
When, look at me I'm gay, Scofield comes on the box or radio,

I think I must be wired funny. I really hate dumb TV adverts that treat the audience like idiots. So much so that when I look for insurance, I refuse to use Go Compare, purely because of that annoying f***ing opera singing t**t on the ads. I would honestly rather pay a bit more!
It irritates me too. Its almost like a form of brainwashing over and over again. It would not for one minute encourage me to use Go Compare. In fact I'm more likely to use any other company. Now it feels like its Peleton ads all the time. That tune gets into my head and won't go away. My top irritating ad is the one which I think is for washing powder, with different people sniffing bed sheets. The guy says something like 'Mmm this is too good.' Aaargh.
 
Some of the best adverrtising is so subtle you are not even aware of it consciously. A good example is Gordons gin. A few years ago they ran ads in high end magazines that showed an attractive woman with a glass of gin in front of her. Very subtley, on the 3 ice cubes were the letters S-E-X. SFX magazine often covers up the lower part of the F when there are sexu women on the cover so the magazine title looks like SEX.

Just 2 examples but there is loads out there.
