It’s a great ad — really creative. Nice to see.
The ad budget is the ad budget, whether Conan does it or whether it’s an animated silent ad involving no celebrities at all. The more successful the ad, the more likely future ad budgets will be as big or bigger in the future.

They generate wealth for others as well as for themselves, much like corporations — they generate wealth in order to profit, but they employ large numbers of people in the process.
