Noticeably less public advertisement. I didn't see billboards, and I didn't feel as "marketed too" as I do in America. There were absolutely signs and advertisements , but they felt much less "in your face", if that makes sense.

From another perspective, when I visited the US I was surprised by the amount of billboards and especially with lawyers advertising stuff like "Did you crash your motorcycle? Contact Harvey David Lawman, the best god damn motorcycle lawyer in town!"

There used to be a billboard outside of Memphis for a big rig lawyer named Dick Longing
