The prevalence of advertising in our daily lives is a topic that has been widely discussed and debated. In a recent article, the authors highlighted the fact that there is no definitive figure when it comes to the number of advertisements that individuals are exposed to on a daily basis. They emphasized that this number can vary significantly depending on various factors such as location, travel patterns, media habits, age, and more.

The authors pointed out that in today’s digital age, with the rise of social media platforms, online advertising, and digital displays, the number of advertisements that individuals are exposed to has significantly increased. They shared an anecdote of a personal experiment conducted by one of the authors, Andrew, where he attempted to count every advertising message encountered in a 24-hour period through various mediums such as radio, television, newspapers, magazines, and public spaces. The experiment yielded a staggering number of 454 advertisements on an average weekday.

In the current era of smartphones and social media, the exposure to advertisements has become even more pervasive. With the average daily smartphone usage in the UK reaching over 4 hours, individuals could potentially be exposed to thousands of advertisements each day. The authors also highlighted the impact of picture-based apps on the brain, suggesting that they can induce a less rational “buy something” state.

The article delved into the various ways in which advertisers strategically target consumers, including through logo recognition, audio branding, and subconscious messaging. They emphasized that effective commercial messaging does not necessarily require lengthy advertisements, as even brief exposures to logos and sounds can trigger emotional responses and associations.

The authors also discussed the prevalence of advertising in traditional media such as television, where viewers are exposed to a significant number of commercials during prime time programming. They highlighted the increasing use of digital displays in public spaces, which has further amplified the number of advertisements individuals are exposed to while commuting or moving around urban environments.

In conclusion, the authors emphasized the need to address the overconsumption of advertising and its negative impact on society. They discussed initiatives taken by cities to ban high-carbon advertising and promote ad-free environments, particularly for children. By reducing the “brain pollution” from adverts, the authors argued that we can improve quality of life and contribute to long-term sustainability efforts.

Overall, the article shed light on the pervasive nature of advertising in our daily lives and underscored the importance of reevaluating our relationship with commercial messaging. It called for a more conscious approach to advertising consumption and highlighted the potential benefits of reducing the saturation of advertisements in our society.
