Archeologist working in the countries around the Mediterranean sea have dug a signs announcing various events and offers, the Romans painted walls to announce gladiator fights and the Phoenicians painted pictures promoting their wares on large rocks along parade routers.
During the Golden age in Greece, town criers announced the sale of cattle, crafted items and even cosmetics (kotler and arm strong, 2008.396).
The word [advertising] itself has its root in two Latin word ?AD? means toward while ?veered? means turn. In other word advertising can be called an attempt to make people turn toward a product or a service. Before the age of modern advertising, what existed was a relatively simple system of proclamation and announcement (Oluyemisi 1992:3).
However, it was not until the emergence of adverting agencies in the latter part of the nineteenth century that adverting became a fully fledged institution with its own ways of working and with its own creative valves. The agencies sold themselves as expert in communication to their clients who were then left to get on with the business of manufacturing.
