Incorrect date for founding of Volney B. Palmer's advertising agency

edit

In the History section, the page states the following:

Volney B. Palmer opened the first American advertising agency, in Philadelphia in 1850. This agency placed ads produced by its clients in various newspapers.

However, the cited source states that the agency was founded in 1841. Indeed, the History of Advertising page states "In the United States around 1840, Volney B. Palmer set up the first advertising agency in Philadelphia." This should be corrected. Hbmonk (talk) 19:07, 15 May 2024 (UTC)Reply

Advertising has evolved to include a significant digital component, with most campaigns now incorporating websites, emails, social media content, and online advertisements. This transformation could be included as a separate section in this entry, detailing how the industry has evolved over the past couple of decades. Cngodles (talk) 18:10, 26 September 2025 (UTC)Reply
