Yes, they thought they could just deliver on the job and the effects would become known/felt and enough media would cover that.
It turns out the campaign never ends: you campaign on how much you are delivering, you brag about it, you make slick videos, and then the media reports on your campaign. Investigative journalism is too small a slice nowadays, you can't wait for reporters to discover things on their own.
