"The main purpose of an advertisement is to highlight something out-of-universe rather than to tell a story (even if a story is present)."

As a fan of the TV series The Transformers, I find this definition questionable at best. That show was made entirely to sell a toyline to kids. The episodes were structured to show toys, the characters were created to match the toys, and thee episodes are structured to get kids to want the toys for playtime. If you were to tell me "none of the Transformers TV show episodes (nor the movie) are stories," then I would respond "balderdash!" I have never heard someone say that a storytelling narrative being a story or not can be defined by the intention. Never never never.
