I can think of one time in the last decade an add influenced me to shop, that resulted in a sale. I can think of literal countless times an advert has annoyed me to the point I would never shop the product they are showing again.

When advertising is done right, you don't know it influenced you. That's why it's scary.

There seems to be an inverse relationship between how often one sees/hears an ad, and the quality of the product being advertised.
