Advertising

Advertising Advertising is the paid form of non-personal

presentation and promotion of ideas, goods or services by an identified sponsor.

In small companies, advertising is handled by someone in the sales or marketing department, who works with the advertising agency.

A large company will often set-up its own advertising department.

Advertising Agency Most companies use an outside agency to help create

advertising campaigns and to select and purchase media.

An Advertising Agency is an independent company that provides specialized advertising services.

Today Advertising Agencies are redefining themselves as “Communication Companies” that assist clients to improve their overall communications effectiveness by offering strategic and practical advice on many forms of communication.
