Every day we come across some sort of advertisement whether that be on the television, radio, magazines/newspapers, on buses/bus stops or social media. We never seem to escape it, however most of the time we choose to ignore it. Big brands tend to use popular celebrities to promote their product or service, this usually has a positive impact leading to people buying the products. Celeb endorsement encourages people to buy because most people in society want to be like the big celebs. Is advertisement too much? i think so. Advertisement these days can be pressuring, persuading us to buy products especially cosmetic adverts for both women and men, the pressure to look good has became so important to people in society and i think that companies have took advantage of this. The advertisements we do take notice of we feel the need to purchase, so actually the promotion does work for brands. I believe that too much advertisements can be physiological damaging because we can easily get caught up in all the pandemonium pressure of looking good and having the latest devices. In addition to this you could say that advertisement shapes society therefore i strongly agree with Banksy's statement.
