The post was great.
The only thing I didn't like was "spend" in the title – "costs" or "expenses" would be less pretentious, to my ears and in my mind. This is a really trivial quibble! [And apparently this is a really old word in English anyways][1]. Now I feel like a grumpy old person.

- ci5er 9y agoNot to quibble with your quibble (but here I go anyway)... The term "Marketing Spend of X" or "Operating Spend of Y" is fairly common business-analysis-speak. At least in certain regions of the United States. IIRC, I also heard it used by Telstra and ANZ execs during some projects I had to take care of in Australia.
- ljw1001 9y agoI think that's a reasonable "ask".
