Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from combining 'advertising' (the activity of making ads) with 'division' (a department); a B1 learner who knows both words can infer it refers to the department responsible for advertising. This noun + noun attributive composition is a regular, cross-linguistic pattern and requires no idiomatic knowledge.
Etymology
Advertising division is a simple company phrase that names the part of a business that makes and runs ads. The word division means a separate group and advertising is making ads, so it refers to the team 'in charge of ads'.
