In terms of cost of an ad to earnings, and how well, even a targeted ad, can hold a viewer's attention. Have we just become numb to ads? Does targeted advertising actually yield better results?

That's branding.

Advertising would be "best pumpkin pie filling, everyone's choice" on the label. Also if you go to their no frills store its all this.

Right so companies put branding on their products to... not advertise themselves to consumers?

I go by this definition. Marketing is branding and advertisements.

The activity of attracting public attention to a product or business by paid announcements in the print, broadcast, or electronic media.
