"Aaron went to the counter and confirmed his Internet booking. The tall blonde advertisement for Sweden led him to the workstation and logged him on."
(Aaron's in a library.)

Does the library use a real person to do advertisement for apparently something to do with Sweden?

'advertisement for Sweden' here is an adjective, describing the woman. It refers to the fact that she looks like a stereotypical Swedish female. If an advertisement were ever to be made about Swedish stereotypes, a female such as her would be 'appropriate'. It is not to be taken seriously, of course.
