Defining Advertising
1. Advertising is a paid form of communication, although some forms of advertising, such as Public Service Announcements (PSAs), use donated space and time.
2. Not only is the message paid for, but the sponsor is identified.
3. Most advertising tries to persuade or influence the consumer to do something, although in some cases the point of the message is simply to make consumers aware of the product or company
Defining Advertising

The shot of a little girl in her study playing with crayons. Cut to a another part of the world...
...a man boards the waiting car. MVO: "No maps for the journeys you make."
The little girl sketches landscapes on her notepad as the focus shifts to beautiful outdoors. MVO: "No boundaries, no limits...
...for you are riding on wishes, you are building on hopes." The man gets on a flight and heads home. MVO: "There are bridges to cross...
...and many roads to travel. Every step you make, we are beside you to make a brand new day."
A car glides to a smooth halt and the man alights from within. Tiptoeing inside, he spots his daughter...
...in her study, and gives her a big hug from behind. The MVO adds, "From bridges to breakthroughs...
...roads to milestones, houses to homes." Super: 'Aditya Birla Group. The brighter side of life.'
