Yes, I too assume that despite being a 600 billion USD/yr business, advertising doesn't really work.

If a given person is eating a 2000 calorie diet then I don't believe the presence of ads will suddenly make them eat a 2500 calorie diet to accommodate some products they saw in an ad.

Advertising can be 100% effective but it doesn't make peoples' stomachs bigger.
