Advertising filing shape

Advertising (ADV) averages $447K per filer, high per-registrant intensity on this code.

GOOGLE CLIENT SERVICES L.L.C. leads this issue's filer table with $30.9M in all-issue lobbying; filings remain spread across 10 named organizations rather than collapsing into one registrant.

With fewer filers on Advertising, each quarterly disclosure carries more weight, and a small shift in registrant count can change the visible lobbying picture quickly.
