The 3 step method they use works shockingly well. Build a problem (not associated to your product/idea). If you can tie it to some sort of base emotion all the better. Sell what does fix it (happens to be a product/idea you have but still not associated to you). Sell your product/idea and show how the experts know your product/idea is the best. When it works it is quite stunning, and many have no idea it was even done to them.

There's this stuff called "Ovaltine". It's like chocolate milk powder They offered it as a solution to that great national scourge, "children chewing without swallowing" (Cue video of callow youth. Food hanging out of his greasy mouth) Then they cite doctors telling us how Ovaltine is totally necessary for good health. Ya, your 3step program

  That is an example. But usually for the 3 steps to be effective it would be different distinct stages separated by time. You would for example read about 'the scourge' in some mags/newspapers. The mags would amp it up for weeks/months. Then 'scientists say' stage, usually the same news/mags/newspapers talking about it how 'some things are known to fight it, milk chocolate for example'. Get some peer reviewed papers written up to back it up, or '4 out of 5 kids agree' sort of thing. Then commercial time. Showing all three together. If you dump them all together you will get a small segment buying it. But if you prime the pump for them to be ready to accept the idea and solution. You get more traction on it. One downside is it is wickedly difficult to see when you are being subjected to it. As the campaign is designed to hide from you until the solution is presented.

  It's how they sell everything. This behavior is shaped by profit motive first and foremost.
