Does advertising really work?
Everyone I know mutes TV ads when they come on.
Everyone I know uses ad-blockers online.
I avoid sites that say 'You can't view this site unless you turn off your ad-blocker.'
And some ads are so annoying &/or repetitive that I refuse to use the product on principle.

First, not everyone does those things.
Second, what happens when you hit an ad break on radio? When there's product placement in TV shows/movies? When your football team splashes a corporate sponsor across their kit? When you pass a billboard on the street? It's a cumulative effect.
