We have monitored the ICO advertising market very thoroughly and our impression is that currently classic advertising is not working/only working on a very large scale ( 7 digit marketing budgets). The market is overcrowded with illegitimate ICOs shouting impossible gains and touting unfeasible business models, if you stay realistic with your advertising there is now way to be heard trough all that "noise".
That is why we have decided against burning more money on typical advertisements.
Instead we are building our community and try to spread the word about our project via social channels, this approach is working very well but it is obviously slower than bombarding people with adverts for X,000,000 USD.
After all we are at an early stage of development and can see a lot more funding coming in as soon as we can announce the first milestones.

It's weird how this project can't get so much funding. Maybe you guys should invest more in advertising, cause the idea looks promissor.

Thank you for your comment.

When we launched the ico most of the tokens/coins where less than half the price they are now (btc at 5000, eth at 300 and ltc at 50) so the early contributors „paid“ less than the current ones in a mathematical sense but we still understand the feeling of beeing an early backer.

First of all we spent 400,000 USD on marketing which came from our own initial investment. Since the ICO industry skyrocketed since June (where we initially planned the ICO) you can also imagine that the prices for advertisments skyrocketed. In fact the prices went up x10 since June which is crazy. So it is not a lack of marketing funds nor were the funds spent in the wrong place.

Please consider that the Bonus tokens now offered ( 50 % for 150,000 REA) come directly from the Teamtoken pool. Everyone (also the first day investors) will benefit if there are more funds raised.

We also consider the idea of stretching the ICO. The problem ist that we would need massive marketing. Right now we feel that it would be unfair to take marketing funds from the amount raised as this money is supposed to go into the project.
