Actually, marketing (and other fields, such as mine) specifically aim to get
people to perceive and attend to certain things in order to influence them
so this isn't too far-fetched.  Support for these approaches comes from
perception, attention, and memory research.

Grenny, David Maxfield, and Al Switzler, McGraw-Hill.

Education, Inc.

Goldstein, Steve J. Martin, and Robert 
B. Cialdini, Free Press.
