Not so fast. The idea that "if companies spend that much, they must have a reason" isn't any good either.

Some ads obviously work, some ads obviously don't work, and most of them aren't in either of those categories.

Fair point.

But recently I encountered several people with the opinion that ads don't ever work on them. And while not all ads work well and some people are more susceptible to them than others, I think very few people if any can claim ads don't work on them at all.
