The Koch brothers' company bought a Super Bowl ad

http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/01/media/koch-industries-super-bowl-olympics/index.html
"Billionaires Charles and David Koch are well known for spending enormous sums of money to back conservative politicians and causes.

But they're also the owners of Koch Industries, which deals in petroleum, chemicals, energy, commodities trading and several other businesses. It is the second-largest private company in America, according to Forbes, with $100 billion in revenue and 100,000 employees.

The Kochs launched the ad campaign, called "Challenge Accepted," to educate people about what the company does, said company spokesman Steve Lombardo.

"The ads are basically filling an information gap," Lombardo said. "Right now, people really don't know much about Koch at all -- what we do, the products we provide."
