5 things I've learned from the film is:
~ Nike got there slogan from a man who said lets do it, and nike changed it to just do it.
~ The apple company started of being a small company.
~ Apple spent 7 billon dollars on bill-boards.
~ 2.7 million dollars spent on NFL Super-bowl advertisements
~ Advertisement made Tommy Hilfiger famous

Advertisement helped Tommy Hilfiger by posting his image and his logo on billboards.
Advertisement showed Tommy Hilfiger what his customers like, so he improved and this made his clothing line more famous.

Just to be able to have a 30 second ad in the super bowl it cost 2.7 million dollars. Its was extremely expensive.

Advertisement is like are because it can be presented in many different ways and catches peoples attention. Advertisement is like pollution because it can cause one to lose control.

The slogan "Just Do It", cause Nike and increasingly profit. This was successful because Nike became famous over this slogan.
