Advertising: Metaphorically Speaking
May 7th, 2008 Posted in Opinion
One of the greatest pictures ever captured by the Hubble Space Telescope. Called “Deep Space”, it shows the millions billions of other galaxies that populate our universe. Each one is unique, each one is special.
In total, the universe has been estimated at over 156 Billion light years across. But galaxies can be grouped into types (spirals, elliptical, etc) or regions (ie. clusters). The closest galaxy to the Milky way is Andromeda which is over 2 Million Light years away.
In advertising, we impact a huge number of people across a variety of demographics, areas and countries. The universe metaphor puts our job in perspective nicely.
