Use linear regression to model the time series data with linear indices ex. In time series data, seasonality is the presence of variations that occur at specific regular intervals less than a year, such as weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
Alternatively, you can also create a binary variable for each season, and calculate a multiple regression for the marketing expenses controlling for time, and each of the binary variables for the seasons but one which is the reference group. Recently i have been working with time series data.

As shown in regression with seasonality, the seasonality of such time series can be modelled by using c1 dummy variables. Time series datasets can contain a seasonal component. Seasonality may be caused by various factors, such as weather, vacation, and holidays and consists of periodic, repetitive, and generally regular and predictable patterns in the levels of a time series. If a time series plot of a variable shows steadily increasing or decreasing values over time, the variable can be detrended by running a regression on a time index variable that is, the case number, and then using the residuals as the detrended series.
