Media Advertising is the art of arresting the human intelligence just long enough to get money from it. Ever since mass media became mass media, companies have naturally used this means of communications to let a large number of people know about their products. There is nothing wrong with that, as it allows innovative ideas and concepts to be shared with others. In order to carry through the brand message, media support was a key driving force.
