Advertising is near enough inescapable these days. You can’t even watch a five-minute YouTube video without it being repeatedly punctuated by a punishing stream of ads. Thinking of settling down to watch Great British Bake Off? Not without enjoying a delicious side dish of ad breaks you won’t. But, of course, this type of marketing works. After all, companies wouldn’t spend outrageous sums of money on it if it didn’t.
