Propaganda in Advertising

Some techniques of the Propaganda that I found on Wikipedia.org are

Ad Nauseam
This argument approach uses tireless repetition of an idea. An idea, especially a simple slogan, that is repeated enough times, may begin to be taken as the truth. This approach works best when media sources are limited or controlled by the propagator.
I would think that Nike has cornered this market completely with their Swoosh Logo
 
 
Common man
The "plain folks" or "common man" approach attempts to convince the audience that the propagandist's positions reflect the common sense of the people.
This is also a good one because who wouldn't feel for the simple common man I mean that dude could have been my neighbors dad for all I know .
