As the advertising industry has been consolidating itself at its most intensive level of globalization
As
the advertising industry has been consolidating itself at its most
intensive level of globalization ever, it is ironic that the social critique
which accompanied it during its previous decades of expansion has been fading
into obscurity. The advertizing industry is the
global industry of public
relation and marketing companies, media
services and advertizing agencies
largely controlled today by just a few international holding
companies (Omnicom, Publicis Group). It is a global,
multibillion-dollar business that connects manufacturers and
consumers. The industry ranges from nonprofit organizations companies. It
has been the critics of advertising who have made the most elaborate claims
about its economic importance. In practice, it is evident that some of the
industries which advertise the most heavily, such as packaged foods, or
household and personal cleaning products, do indeed have tendencies to oligopolistic
concentration.
