      Viewers think those ads are aimed at them, but many of them are for such specific versions of a disease, that the viewership must be extremely tiny. They wouldn’t spend that kind of money to reach such a miniscule audience.

      The ads are really aimed at the doctors themselves. A doctor with a specific specialty may have several patients that the drug might help. That’s whose attention they are trying to get.

      Have you asked your doctor about Ozempic yet? Maybe you need to see a couple hundred more ads about it.
