It would certainly seem that it has come a very long way since it first started out, but just how far has it really managed to come?
Advertising started a very long time ago when the Egyptians were the men of the world. Egyptians are famous for many inventions and inventing advertising seems to be another one of their most brilliant ones ever. They had already previously started to use papyrus (first paper) to record many things on. The Egyptians then did something that was quite remarkable, they started to write down advertisements on this paper and post it around the cities. It was this that kicked everything off with the rest of the world’s future generations.
