Lifehacker launched in January 2005 with an exclusive sponsorship by Sony. The highly-publicized ad campaign was rumored to have cost $75,000 for three months.[15] Gawker Media never confirmed this number, and the campaign ended after 2 months.[citation needed] Since then a variety of tech-oriented advertisers have appeared on the site[citation needed].[16]
