Advertising is a component of marketing. Advertising involves promoting products or services through paid channels such as TV, radio, print, or digital platforms. Marketing, on the other hand, includes a broader range of activities including market research, product development, pricing, distribution, branding, and customer engagement, with the goal of satisfying customer needs and achieving business objectives.

Advertising and marketing are closely related but distinct concepts. Marketing encompasses a broad range of activities aimed at promoting and selling products or services, including market research, product development, and strategic planning. Advertising, on the other hand, is a subset of marketing focused specifically on creating and delivering promotional messages to target audiences through various media channels.
