It's certainly engaged me to never, ever invest in their services. Ever.

Seriously. If I notice the ad, I avoid the product. For example, ads for native and old spice are everywhere on YouTube and super obnoxious so when I need body wash and I hit the store, my fist reaction to seeing those brands is to recall the negative emotions I felt from the last time I had to interact with that brand. So they are spending money to get me to avoid their products.
