"Advertising aims to persuade people that buying a product will make them happier"

Hello Teachers,
"Advertising aims to persuade people that buying a product will make them happier"

People is direct object
and "that buying a product will make them happier" is noun clause that serves as object complement ?!
Thanks

Re: "Advertising aims to persuade people that buying a product will make them happier

Hello Teachers,
"Advertising aims to persuade people that buying a product will make them happier"

Is "people" the direct object?
And is "that buying a product will make them happier" a noun clause that serves as an object complement?
Thanks

Please note the correct way to put your question.
