This document discusses various myths about advertising and marketing. It summarizes that 1) targeting consumers based on limited search or browsing history may not reflect their future interests, 2) some targeting is useful but its effectiveness declines with too many parameters, 3) people usually search for products and not brands, and 4) advertising creates awareness but does not necessarily create demand or cause people to purchase if they are not already interested. It provides examples and commentary from an expert in digital strategy and marketing, Dr. Augustine Fou.
