Hi, I have another approach to this question. I think before answering this question we should understand clearly about the concept "advertising". According to the definition in dictionary, advertising refers to the business of trying to persuade people to buy products or services by introducing these products or services in very interesting, attractive and impressive ways. Thus, depending on the products, services and the ways in which they're introduced, we could evaluate how much the advertising tells us about a country. If the service is something related to tourism industry, I believe that it tells us a lot about that country. It's because promoting their services also means promoting special places in their country, which often represent characteristics of the country. In contrast, If the products or services are ordinary like shampoo or beer, it, of course, also tells about the taste of people in the country, however it's not much. Therefore, I personally think that advertising can tell us about a country, but the degree depends on the products or services being advertised.
