The AIDA marketing model was originally created by St Elmo Lewis to break down how an advertisement should work, moving a prospective customer through the stages of attention, interest, desire and action. It has since been reused by many marketers to represent the opening part of the customer journey rather than advertising alone, though other later models such as the RACE model have been proposed as a fuller account of that journey.

In fact, the formula with three steps appeared anonymously in the February 9, 1898, issue of Printers' Ink: 'The mission of an advertisement is to sell goods.

The announcement should contain matter which will interest and convince after the attention has been attracted' (p. 50).
