Yeah at least 75% of sales, advertising, and marketing is a barely measurable metric that exists to look useful while burning money. Like those advertising mailers? They're just employing people to do nothing but kill trees to prop up the postal service. Big brand ads? They just want to remind you that Coca-Cola exists in case you forgot since the last time they told you 10 minutes ago.
Advertisement to people who want to make money is like selling shovels and picks to people who want to mine gold.
