Jim Kukral: Ted Murphy Of PayPerPost Is A Fucking Marketing Genius!

  • Webomatica · 2 years ago
    Not to put more viral marketing buzz where it's not needed - but have you seen the reality show: RockStartup? Despite my complaints about the ethics of PayPerPost, I think you are right on to say there are some marketing geniuses at the company...! I watched the whole darned thing.

    It's pretty easy to be a marketing genius if you have millions in VC money to burn and lack any form of ethics.

    All this press is bad press. I've never seen a company hated as much by the blogosphere since, well, Microsoft.

    @Webomatica, I have seen it and I must say, that regardless of if you like it or not, both sides talk about it, so it wins from a pure marketing standpoint.

    @Kevin, I don't think having the money has anything to do with it. The free write-ups and buzz they have generated has nothing to do with throwing cash around. It's utterly, amazing what they've accomplished.

    Jim,
    I don't know about being a genius, but thank you for the kind words : ) When I saw this post I was floored.

    Ted, don't be blow away. It's true. I may not totally believe in your business model, but I totally believe in your marketing acumen.
