Advertising is an all-powerful tool in today’s world where communication means are 
varied and accessible by all, and reaching the target audience with the right message makes 
all the difference. Advertising is a medium through which, people can be educated about a 
particular issue at hand. Advertising can be about a new product, a new business 
opportunity or in this case about a country. I strongly agree with the statement that 
advertising can inform, educate and can tell a lot about the country. I will support my 
argument through examples and reasoning given below. 
Advertising can be of many forms: Printed and published information, through broadcast 
media (radio and television) and now the most important emerging means of all; that of the 
Internet. All these forms of advertising have their own advantages and disadvantages. 
Advertising is generally responsible for the first impressions of a country in people's 
minds. In this case, what they hear about a particular country for the first time through any 
means of advertising, will result in it being a true picture of a country for that person / 
country. 
So that's the reasons why governments of some developed countries have taken this issue 
of projecting the right image of their country through advertising very seriously. This is 
proven by the fact that their tourism numbers and advantages of living and working in 
their country are most highlighted than other countries. This is nonetheless important in 
today’s competitive global environment where countries are competing against each other 
to attract new investments and business in their country. All this directly affects the 
economic and development scene of the country as good or bad advertising can directly 
result in the country's growth. 
For instance, in my country India, the Information technology ministry has spent 
substantial finances and efforts to highlight India's advantage as a global source for 
information technology workers. This in fact has resulted in growth in the Gross Domestic 
Product of our country there by raising the standard of people living in this country and 
giving ancient industry a chance to grow in a free capital environment. This couldn’t have 
been achieved without concentrated advertising of our advantages and economic benefits 
of developing software in India. 
So I conclude to say that Advertising cannot only tell a lot about a country but can also 
result in bring growth to the economy and prosperity to its people. Adding to that, I would 
like every government of the world taking efforts to promote the best their county has to 
give to the world, here by promoting peace and prosperity among all nations.
