Abstract
Advertising is part and parcel of the cultural wallpaper, the noise, clutter, and media chatter in which we live. This article describes firstly why advertising is needed, and then considers investigative approaches that can be used to understand the topic. We recommend that methodological pluralism offers critically valuable perspectives, which are needed to establish an appreciation of the role and functioning of advertising in a modern context.
