“The truth is that advertising is harder than

It’s news when an ad campaign
launch SUCCEEDS.”

Advertising Effects Are Uncertain
“If you want your brand to be fit, it’s got to exercise regularly. When you get the opportunity to go to the movies or do something else instead of working out, you can do that once in a while—that’s [equivalent to] shifting funds into [sales] promotion. But it’s not a good thing to do. If you get off the regimen, you will pay for it later.”
Jennifer Lawrence, P&G

“I know that half the amount I spend on advertising is wasted; The trouble is, I don’t know which half”

Which Position is More Acceptable?
• The Case for Investing: the belief that advertising can increase profitability by increasing sales volume, enabling higher selling prices, and thus increasing revenue beyond the incremental advertising expense.
• The Case for Disinvesting: Firms often choose to reduce advertising expenses either when a brand is performing well or during economic recession. The belief is that an expense reduction, with all else held constant, will result in increased profits.
