But more and more customers are also becoming suspicious of and resistant to high-powered advertisements. This is producing, in highly sophisticated countries, a deliberately modest, self deprecating type of advertisement that is intended to disarm the suspicions of sophisticates by giving an impression of absolute sincerity, or even deliberate understatement.
