What does ADLAND mean in Scrabble?
noun
informal
The advertising industry as a whole, together with the agencies, campaigns, and people who work in it, treated informally as a single world of its own.
Journalists coined adland by blending advertisement with land, picturing the industry as a distinct territory with its own habits, slang, and rising and falling trends. The word appears mainly in trade press and media commentary rather than in formal business writing, where advertising industry would be the expected phrase. Because it names a whole culture rather than a single company, adland often carries a slightly knowing or ironic tone about the business of persuasion.
