Big word in advertising
Answer:
NEW
Hint:
Think of the single syllable that makes old products seem fresh or makes announcements feel exciting.
Explanation:
The clue plays on the word "big" to hint at importance rather than size. In advertising, "NEW" is a major selling point—it’s a small word with huge impact, often used to grab attention. The trick is recognizing that "big" refers to significance, not physical scale, making "NEW" the perfect fit.
