People sometimes think that advertisement is a good way of convincing the public to buy things but some believe that ads are no longer important to the public. In my opinion, adverts are necessary for creating major awareness in a pandemic situation but they can

A recent article published by Forbes magazine proposed that most public tends to be more inclined to purchase a product that they are more familiar with or goods that are similar. The Pepsi Company is one of the leading brands in advertising because they have been able to attract more customers by using popular and talented Sports men and women. Linking Words
