Yes, ethics are very important in advertising.
Ads should not mislead the customer in buying the product.
It's about educating customers.

The importance of advertising is "steadily on the increase in modern society.
Just as the media of social communication themselves have enormous influence everywhere, so advertising, using media as its vehicle, is a pervasive, powerful force shaping attitudes and behavior in todayThe information provided by the media is at the service of the common good. Society has a right to information based on truth, freedom, justice and solidarity."'s world. At the same time, she also calls attention to moral principles and norms relevant to social communications, as to other forms of human endeavor, while criticizing policies and practices that offend against these standards.
Advertisers are selective about the values and attitudes to be fostered and encouraged, promoting some while ignoring others. This selectivity gives the lie to the notion that advertising does no more than reflect the surrounding culture. For example, the absence from advertising of certain racial and ethnic groups in some multi-racial or multi-ethnic societies can help to create problems of image and identity, especially among those neglected, and the almost inevitable impression in commercial advertising that an abundance of possessions leads to happiness and fulfillment can be both misleading and frustrating.
Advertising also has an indirect but powerful impact on society through its influence on media. Many publications and broadcasting operations depend on advertising revenue for survival. This often is true of religious media as well as commercial media. For their part, advertisers naturally seek to reach audiences; and the media, striving to deliver audiences to advertisers, must shape their content so to attract audiences of the size and demographic composition sought. This economic dependency of media and the power it confers upon advertisers carries with it serious responsibilities for both.
 
to create a lasting discourse with the consumer, ethical standars have to be instituted. That being said, I think for certain products (young male skewed products), more specifically products such as AXE have thrown ethics out the window.
 
well, what i feel is sales is ultimately what leads to profit maximisation.toking about ethics in the present scenario ethics are maily left for earning the goodwill for the company.also, since the competition has increased many folds with slight product differentiation the company focus more profits be it by using unethical ways through marketing or advertising.To a extent this don't make an effect as consumer is becoming more cautious about the product he/she is using.
 
ethics r very important in advertising because by being nethical u shud not hurt the emotions of the people.while designing an advertisement you shud keep in mind the culture,history,religion and other sentments of the people.
 
ethics in marketing/advertising is non existant!! and honestly.. d bottomline is profit.. u ve to create a product diffrentiaition.. esp when it comes to products like toothpaste .. etc.. it's all fair in business!!
