Abstract
This paper examines the effects of advertising expenditures on firm's intangible value in the Tehran    Stock Exchange (TSE) listed companies. Using Q Tobin to estimate firm's intangible value and for a sample of 389 firm-year observation during 1380-1385, we find that there is a negative association between firm's advertising expenditures and intangible value. We also find that there is no association between advertising expenditure, sales and profit.
