Advocacy advertising is the practice of promoting a particular point of view or advocacy along with a product or service. It usually strives to raise awareness or promote social or political causes, and may be controversial because it can blur the line between advertising and propaganda. PACs, lobbying, coalition building, and social contracting are all related to advocacy, but do not specifically refer to the practice of advocacy advertising.
