It's not as simple as hey I watched this ad and it told me to do this and I did or did not do it. Ads are narratives that create meaning. They in many ways define a sort of metaphysics of our world, a way in which we find meaning in who we are and what we do. They define us as people, society and civilization much like religion defined people in the Middle and Dark ages.
Ads are a one way conversation that the producers are having with the consumers. The other side of that is the actual production of the products, namely your jobs. Stuff you spend most of your life toiling away at. Ads are what it means to be human in the 20th and 21st century.
