It is a complex form of communication that operates with objectives and
strategies leading tovarious types of impact on consumer thoughts,

 feelings and actions.


In a way Advertising is simple. It’s about creating
 a message and sending it to
someone, hoping it would react in a certain way.

non personal mass media, as well as other form of
interactive communication to reach broad audiences to
