advertising costs

Publicity budget line

Advertising costs are the expenses a business incurs to promote its products or services—including media placement, creative production, and agency fees.

In accounting, these may be expensed immediately or capitalized depending on the expected benefit period: Our advertising costs doubled when we launched the new product line.

The term often appears in financial statements and marketing budgets.
