Its called a debate, differing views, experiences etc....Then why do you feel the need to come here and tell everyone? Even when you admit that you know marketing does effect other people???
Does it raise your self esteem telling people how impervious you are?
Do you feel like an idiot if you dont tell people marketing has no effect on you?
Now why not debate the OP, if that is possible for an ex marketeer?
Very difficult to find clothes which do not have some company's brand stuck on them. Even in Dunnes/Penneys.
And advertising doesn't make me go out and buy, say, a new pair of jeans, the holes in the knees is what does that. Then I buy the ones that fit and feel comfortable and will last.
or
Funny thing is they can fill peoples heads and the public space with the first image but I might get a legal letter for advertising the damage their sh1t does with the second image.
Yuck, I prefer Lidl's finest substitute, caramel choco or choco caramel or whatever the name is. Never seen them advertised anywhere.
Imagine if they had to have a picture of a morbidly obese person on the wrapper!'A Mars a day helps you work rest and play!'
Wouldn't be the successful product it is if it told the truth:

But we ARE debating the OP!
I understand you were influenced to comment on the OP, although Im not sure what it is about marketing that influenced you though!
Also, what you got against ex marketeers? Sure we dont influence you at all!

I use to love the advertisement by the Banks where all the students dropped-in and lie to the "bank manager" to get money to parr-tay. The cool and benevolent bank manager really, a personal banking liaison executive (because they shot all the real Bank Managers in the early nineties pogroms' against the unsocial partners) would smile knowingly and hand over the "shakels". Then Mum decided to get an extra €3 million for the extension to the house and being a women with a tiny brain ad thought it a great idea seeing as we were the riches country int he world.
Advertising harmless fun for all the family
