I would just say that marketing and advertising is an extremely broad area. It could include anything from PR, to product placement, to celebrity endorsement to media and content generation to SAAS and other cloud infrastructure.

It would be literally impossible to guess or dissect what they spent the $750K on, with that information alone. There are so just many different options for marketing stacks. This site might be of interest to some here as an example of digital marketing and analytics solutions these days. http://marketingstack.io/

In the end it all comes down to trust. @Jimjamzzz from a number of posts I get the feeling you don't really trust IOT. If its a matter of trust. Fair enough. Each to their own.

However. To accuse IOT of wasting $750K because we can't see what they spent it on is another story.
