For Digital Media Communication and Advertising, the magic sentence in this public lecture is “Persuade, and Seduce People”, which is spoken by Mr. Hakim Lubis. He gave the definition of Advertising as a way to change the mindset of the audience in how to use and wear products. He also added that Advertising is one of the oldest works on Earth. As an example, he explains how Satan offered, persuade, and seduce Adam to eat the fruit, which resulted in Adam getting sent off from Heaven.
