Who invented advertising?

Have you ever asked yourself this question?

Advertising is the fact of making public certain information. It already existed in antiquity with the famous wall paintings that announced gladiatorial fights. In the Middle Ages, town criers appeared to give commercial news in the squares of towns and villages.

Printed matter made its appearance in the 15th century and two centuries later, newspapers appeared.

But it is in the 20th century that advertising really explodes with the radio and the TV. It is in 1930 that we really start to pay attention to the packaging of products.

Today it's thanks to the internet and social networks that advertising has taken off. Now, thanks to a simple cookie, companies can target their customers. In the near future, it will not be uncommon to see messages totally personalized according to the interests of Internet users.
