Advertising at its worst will be killed by the Internet. And rightly so.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I can not think of any circumstances in which advertising would not be an evil.
Ads shouldn't be in people's way.
If people ever talked the way advertising sounded, they would be put away.
Advertising is the life of trade.
A great ad campaign will make a bad product fail faster. It will get more people to know it's bad.
I am one who believes that one of the greatest dangers of advertising is not that of misleading people, but that of boring them to death.
Advertising must respect the intelligence of its audience and if it does not prompt them to think, it will be instantly dismissed.
The Internet is king. Newspapers are dead or dying. Magazines are shrinking every day. Ad budgets are being cut. The bottom line is now the only line in advertising.
The future of advertising is the Internet.
I don't want to kill ads. I think advertising is great, and I'm very aware that there's multiple revenue streams in television, subscription and advertising. But I also don't want to put my head in the sand, and I think the world is changing.
