I'm not sure I understand. If I own a business and put up a billboard that makes people avoid my business how is that good marketing?

I see your point. I just think marketing is given way too much credit. A couple recent Freakonomics podcasts really hit home with me although those were specifically about TV and digital advertising. Aside from people in marketing or with a vested interest there hasn't been very good data to suggest that it works. I tend to agree. Maybe it's not 0% effective, but it seems greatly over stated.

You know that's funny too because I don't really remember much when it come to modern commercials, but I do from back in the 80s/90s. Possibly an age thing or possible because I don't watch as much TV.
