Digital marketing facilitator. Painfully passionate about keeping your 0s and 1s in working order. Obsequious to the right project leader. Here to vent, offload & unpack 30 years of design agency #ITProblems. Catharsis, I usually cheer up again shortly after posting a rant.

The company #AI working group keep asking which teams are utilising it for case studies but all teams are suspiciously quiet. One only revealed a map analysis tool which on inspection used CV not recent LMM AI. Suspect it is due to hiring subject matter experts for their main role but the coding part is career late and a learn on-the-job secondary skill. Obvs, drawn to vibe coding but as yet nothing useful, stable or trustworthy enough for the industry.
Not sure about surveys offering prizes starting with existential questions. What would the algorithm to choose the winner want me to put?

Ladies, gents, and theys, I present to you:

The Generative AI Alignment Chart:

#LinkedIn I see all 18 of your posts likes are the colleagues in your team. Oh, one I remember the name of left a while ago so it looks like it comes from another company! #B2B #Marketing2Marketers
At least one AI premonition appears to be coming true. Comp wants to offload its #B2B bid/tender writing process to an AI company given access to all our cloud data storage, historical projects, costs, charges etc so it can match staff and capabilities to improve the chance of winning high value tenders. The AI company also offer to intelligently parse and filter tenders for the very companies we wish to appeal to. Let your AI talk to our AI.

1000 website visitors that don’t fit your niche are gonna convert at 0% no matter how cool or “optimised” your website is

Too many founders get hung up on website conversion when the easiest way to increase it is: market to the right audience. 1000 website visitors that don’t fit your niche are gonna convert at 0% no matter how cool or “optimised” your website is #buildinpublic

Managing Director: We have a new #DigitalMarketing person! They really know what they're doing this time.

Task 1: Please help us authenticate MailChimp and add a signup form on site.

(Circling back to them now are we? All those other marketing people who had their own favourite CRM & bulk mailers every time they came onboard, it must be the service, not the content. Sure.)

Marketing: DMARC, DKIM SPF, DNS, what? It's 2025, an #AI spam filter should know I just purchased a great new domain name for our marketing department so the rest of the world should know it's our legit email I'm sending surely?
So, business pivot, we're going to sell AI generated research findings (from off the shelf LMMs) to clients with the USP being to help them reduce carbon and save energy. Sure, they could also save money by doing the very same things themselves but we won't say that in the pitch of course. Our service is the passionate people & talent of constructing the industry leading AI prompt their existing staff just won't be able to handle!
