The word 'where' is incorrectly used instead of 'were' which is the past tense of 'be' for plural subjects. Also, 'advice' is uncountable and should not be pluralized, but since it is used as an adjective here, it is acceptable. The main issue is the verb 'where' which should be 'were' to agree with the plural subject 'advertisements'. Suggestion: Use 'were' for plural past tense of 'be' verbs.
× Most of their advertisements revolve around family, touching friendships and relationships, and it evokes emotions.
✓ Most of their advertisements revolve around family, touching on friendships and relationships, and they evoke emotions.
The verb 'touch' when used in this context requires the preposition 'on' to correctly express the idea of addressing or dealing with something. Also, the subject 'advertisements' is plural, so the verb should be 'evoke' instead of 'evokes'. Suggestion: Use 'touch on' to indicate addressing topics and ensure subject-verb agreement.
× Apparently, the Singaporean government is promoting mental health and specifically posted on their ads the different words I can use to comfort my friend or friends who are struggling with.

The phrase 'struggling with' is incomplete without an object. Since the object is omitted, it is better to remove 'with' to make the sentence complete and clear. Suggestion: Avoid ending sentences with prepositions when the object is missing; remove 'with' here.

The word 'advertisement' should be plural 'advertisements' to match the context of seeing many ads. Also, 'companies that requests' is incorrect because 'companies' is plural and should be followed by 'request' without 's'. The phrase 'requests for marketing' is awkward; 'request marketing' is more appropriate. Suggestion: Use plural forms for plural subjects and ensure subject-verb agreement.
