well yes and no, advertising pays and that’s why Bloomberg is at 15% and his debate can be buried.
If you doubt advertising gets results just think of how some brands like Pepsi or Coke dominate or on the flip side how everyone would be buying and talking about Hoka shoes, superior to Nike but Nike spends 3.3 billion on advertising.
The best news is if Sanders doesn’t wrap this up early and dems keep fighting each other and spending $s fighting each other
The flip side is that I wonder if Bloomberg has reached a tipping point in his advertising. He needed the ads in states where he had no name recognition, but now he has so heavily saturated the airwaves with them that people must be getting sick of him.
