Advertising is very different from publicity. Advertising is a paid form of spreading information on a large-scale across consumers and involves several mediums for conveying the messages. These mediums include the mass and electronic media sources.
On the contrary, publicity is a non-paid form of spreading information and is basically done by the Government or non-profit organizations. Spreading AIDS awareness or Breast Cancer awareness by the NGOs are some common examples of publicity.
For more information you can check with Michael Porter's website on the Internet and read more on the various differences between advertising and publicity.

advertisement - the item/person/situation, etc itself drafts it out for announcing certain things to the public. media such as newspapers, TV documentaries, etc etc are used.
publicity:- the item/person connected with it gets publicity not by asking, but due to some other people's efforts, either good or bad..
that is why we say tht "he/she is getting unwanted publicity". we never say tht "he/she is getting unwanted advertising"
