This is a question I don't understand the attraction

Smaug says: Ricky Gervais. Lesbian pr0n. Going into a crowded bar, purely because it's crowded. All these things seem to be popular with everybody else, but I just can't work out why. What leaves you cold just as much as it turns everyone else on?

that's the difference between advertising and marketing
Responses from TV and billboards can't be monitored. So you have to make as big a splash as possible - therefore, creative.

As an interesting side note, Bob Isherwood, worldwide creative director of Saatchi & Saatchi, commissioned research which showed that award-winning advertising is significantly more effective than the dull stuff.

But then the people who commission research often get the results they want.

Well....
There's Econometric analysis to strip out the effect of all factors other than advertising, but in general what that shows is that you rarely get positive return-on-investment from advertising in the short-term - in other words you make less money off the back of it than it costs you as a business.

However, you just hope that in the long-term it pays off. Or that's what you tell the client anyway...
