"Advertising is a form of communication
intended to persuade an audience (viewers, readers or listeners) to
take some action. It usually includes the name of a product or service
and how that product or service could benefit the consumer, to persuade
potential customers to purchase or to consume that particular brand.
Modern advertising developed with the rise of mass production in the
late 19th and early 20th centuries."
