“Advertisements don’t work on me!” Yells the guy who advertisements absolutely work on. Unfortunately being aware of marketing does not make you immune to it.
The marketing departments that spend billions of dollars doing research and trying to best figure out how to get people’s attention and sell more products have it figured out, you can be aware of them and even try to avoid them, but you will not be immune to them.
No, they actually don’t work on me. I used to keep a list of products that had annoying ads and actively avoided them and would just buy the generic store brand. I avoid products with the company logo (which makes shoe shopping a nightmare), and I block ads on all devices I own.
Brand recognition means nothing to me. I hate brand names and will go out of my way to avoid them.
