How It's Used

Business

"The advertiser prepared a new advertising campaign for their client's product."

From Old French 'avisiere' meaning 'one who brings news or makes known', from 'avis' meaning 'advice, tidings' (Latin 'advertere' meaning 'to turn toward, to notice'). The spelling was altered in the 16th century under the influence of 'advertise'.

Historically, advertisers were responsible for spreading word-of-mouth and written notices about goods or services.

Memory tip

Imagine an individual or group spreading news about a product like a town crier.
