That chap will take on advertising industry to make a point (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

headland

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a point' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'that chap will take on advertising industry' is the wordplay.
'that chap' becomes 'he'.
'will take' says to put letters next to each other.
'on advertising industry' becomes 'adland' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'he'+'adland'='HEADLAND'

'to make' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for headland that I've seen before include "Narrow promontory" , "Bill" , "Cape" , "Promontory, area jutting out into the sea" , "Ness" .)
