The purpose of well-publicized advertising is to convince the targeted clients or customers to buy the advertised service or product.
To do this, advertisers use word games, captivating phrases, branding slogans, and everything they can to attract attention, including finding ways to make the product or service unforgettable by doing or saying the opposite of what people would expect.
