I don't think the scratch team has the money to launch a advertising campaign.
I don't even think advertising is necessary as the site is growing at a healthy rate.

I believe a lot of us here are web developers. The best ads are the sub-sites we make dedicated to Scratch, IMO. Scratch is an IDE *and* language, all things considered. Those are both best supported by developer enthusiasm (think Eclipse/Java, Komodo/PHP, XCode/OBJ-C, etc.), rather than by marketing to the world at large.
Face it - the most likely people to teach their kids about programming with Scratch are us developers. I believe it is up to us to show the non-programmer parents out there how easy it is to use scratch. That can be as simple as posting a link to the Scratch website, or as complex as developing tutorials and activity ideas for kids and parents.
Word of mouth, yo.
Word. ;]
