Study Notes
History and Evolution of Advertising
- Advertising is rooted in the Latin words "ad" (toward) and "vertere" (to turn), meaning "to turn one's attention to (something)".
- The earliest form of advertising was a papyrus ad from a fabric vendor in Ancient Egypt (3000 BC) offering a reward for a missing slave and highlighting the quality of their fabrics.
- In Ancient Rome (79 CE), phallic symbols were used as street signs to guide people to brothels, and brothels themselves were adorned with paintings depicting erotic motifs.
- During the Song Dynasty in China (960 CE – 1279 CE), illuminated lanterns, hung in front of tea houses and restaurants, served as advertising for these businesses.
- Ancient Roman graffiti, found in Pompeii, contains examples of political advertising promoting candidates in municipal elections, including endorsements for particular candidates due to their "good bread" quality.
- The Philippines, being a prominent commerce center in the 4th century BC, relied on word-of-mouth communication for advertising due to the use of perishable materials for writing.
- The introduction of the printing press during the Renaissance led to increased literacy rates and a wider market for print advertisements.
- The Renaissance in the Philippines was delayed until the 19th century due to the Spanish friars heavily regulating the movement of new technologies and ideas.
- The Industrial Revolution marked a shift in advertising from local to national with advancements in transportation and the rise of branding.
- The first advertising agency, Ayer & Son, was established in Philadelphia in 1841.
- The arrival of the Americans in the Philippines in 1898 brought advancements in technology, franchising, and the establishment of the Philippine Publicity Service, Inc. in 1921 as the country's first recorded advertising agency.
- The internet's borderless nature, combined with digital media and analytics, has transformed advertising through global reach, precise targeting, and real-time performance tracking.
- The internet has created opportunities for content virality, allowing small businesses to compete with larger corporations with targeted online campaigns.
The Essence of Advertising
- Despite evolving methods, the fundamental principle of advertising remains unchanged: to capture attention and turn it towards a particular product, service, or idea.
