Advertising is not a technology and there is no evidence that advertising occured 30,000 years ago. That time period predates capitalism, products and competition among manufacturers, and written language.
What are you even on about? Persuasion is not advertising. And in the absence of a material culture for advertising, there is literally no basis for the 30,000 year claim. This is pure nonsense and the worst kind of bullshit.
Advertising first occurred at 1000000000 BC when rhe first female dog advertised her availability by spraying pheromones into the air, thus persuading male dogs to etc.

Given how wide a range your response are in the post, what you call “advertising” is better described as “communication”. No?
Advertising is a method of persuasion.
It’s as old as civilization.
We advertise for various reasons, selling products is just one of them.
And yes, over time, we have developed better advertising techniques.
A body of techniques is what’s referred to as a “technology”.

If I address every silly claim I’ll be here all day.
Start with your silly claim that “advertising”, as you define it, occurred 30,000 years ago. Any non-suppositional evidence please.

(I should be getting paid for this)
Advertising is a communication technique to bring attention to something.
You are mostly talking about commercial advertising, which is still not technology.
Where did you find that definition of technology?
