There are many types of advertising and there are many reasons that companies advertise. Most of the time companies advertise a special or a sale in order to get customers to come in the door and make purchases. All advertising is trying to get the reader to do something or to make a decision; a decision to support something, adopt an idea, vote for a candidate or purchase a product or service.
When a corporation or a company advertises to strengthen their brand name they are trying to get the consumer to adopt that brand-name, as their first choice when purchasing or buying that type of product or service. It is at essentially the same, although how it is done is vastly different.
When you advertise to support your brand name in the marketplace you want the reader or consumer to associate your brand with strength, durability, acceptance, integrity or perhaps reliability. If the consumer adopts these as underlining themes about your brand you have accomplished your mission.
Sometimes advertising does both. It supports the brand-name and gets the customer to come in and buy it. A great brand, which is well respected by customers will be able to sell itself merely by its logo with a short phrase below it reinforcing the customer's image of the brand. Please consider all this in 2006.
