I believe that advertising shapes much of our desires and aspirations because I’ve faced this problem myself personally because I’ve been really into watching television daily. I watch American TV channels such as Comedy Central, BAM and Network. So whenever I’m scaling through the channels and I see something that’s interesting, for example I saw a mobile wallet app and I just wanted to install it and just see what’s up with that app because it had a thorough information that I got from it. As it showed what kind of solutions I have on within a certain credit card. So yeah, I would say that advertising and marketing is a great tool that brands use. I really admire the hustle behind that. I think because it has shaped my desires honestly. While there are some drawbacks, however, I believe, you just have to think with your brain sometimes. and that was that. Come to play.
