Nope. People's desires shape marketing. Not the other way around. Marketing caters to people's pre existing desires to convince them. Desires have always existed and always will.

You didn’t want to drive that bmw until you saw that ad. Perhaps you didn’t want to drive at all. Now you do.

No one wants to drive a BMW. Everyone wants to a) Travel from point A to point B b) Have fun c) Impress people with status symbols. BMW created something that satisfies those needs.
