The good that something is doing

Does the highlighted section mean "reflected the fact that how advantageous this advertisement was and how it increased the awareness of people"?

Context:
Oliviero Toscani argued that the extent of these debates concerning the probity of the advertisement demonstrated the good that the advertisement was doing by generating awareness at a popular level and went on to collect and publish a hundred of these mixed responses, from ‘students, mothers of families, teachers, priests and nuns’ in a book entitled "What Has AIDS To Do With Sweaters?"

catttt Does the highlighted section mean "reflected the fact that how advantageous this advertisement was and how it increased the awareness of people"? Roughly, but in your paraphrase, you have lost the force of the word "by". In the original, the "good" results from generating awareness.
