Essay advertising

Advertising is one of the most important and influential businesses in our modern society, where we are surrounded by ads on TV and on the Internet. It is the business of trying to convince people to buy products or services, in fact it has a wide-ranging effects on consumers’s choices and on the economy.
Firstly, companies spend a lot of money on ads with a view of informing people about their products, costs "prices" might be better and offers. A good ad can really make a difference between a successful brand and an unsuccessful one. Strong ads are usually funny and they feature the collaborations of famous actors, singers or athletes to persuade the public to spend money on something that, in most of the cases, they don’t really need. On the other hand, others make you think and make visible "make visible" sounds awkward here, perhaps "present" or "show off"? a good item that otherwise would have not reached the public’s eye.
Advertising is also one of the most prosperous business of all. It stimulates demand for products which in turn leads to more production and job opportunities. In spite of the current crisis, many young people have found in advertising a possibility to express their talent and creativity, and on top of that a chance to build up a solid career.
My own view on this subject is mainly positive, because advertising stimulates creativity and has a good effect on the economy creating new employment. As well as that, consumers should be more wisely about what they buy, especially as nowadays more objective informations can be found online.
