Robotic Marketer Proves my Point About Robotic Marketing
Here’s a story oozing with irony…
…about robotic marketing gone wrong.
In December, I hosted a LinkedIn event called “Human vs. Machine Marketing.” One of the lessons we promised in the event description:
“Why set-it-and-forget it robotic marketing backfires.”
Fast forward to yesterday when – two months after the event ended – a LinkedIn member named Marva posted a spammy comment under my event announcement.
Her comment had nothing to do with my event or marketing. It was a pitch for the “Industrial Robotics Day” event her company will host.
I replied: “Marva, your comment spam reflects poorly on you and your company. My guess: Your marketing automation robot scanned LinkedIn for “robotic” and posted your event pitch wherever that word appeared. Funny, since we discussed at our event how lazy marketers use robotic tactics to flood the internet with irrelevant, irritating pitches. You’ve proven our point.”
Marva deleted her comment and my reply. Then she blocked me.
(Cue sarcastic weeping emoji: 
)
Marva is such a Ned — as in Ned Ryerson, the pitchy pest insurance salesman in the movie Groundhog Day.
(Happy GHD, btw 
)
Ned pitched single-premium life to anyone who could fog a mirror.
Marva pitched “Industrial Robotics Day” to anyone who posted “robotic” on their social feed.
