It's not just empty fluff marketing. If I asked people on my floor if they knew what the company does, they would have no idea. Watching a demo like this enables the company to emphasize the simplicity involved in their product and enables understanding of what the company actually does vs "idk some tech company".

That sounds like marketing to me. But don't know what's wrong with marketing in the first place. Having good marketing is essential.

I think the above poster wasn't disputing the "marketing" part, he/she was saying this wasn't "empty fluff" marketing (meaning it was potentially USEFUL marketing).
