When Marketers Run Amok

When Marketers Run Amok

April 1, 2025 Thome Dempsey

There are many examples of startups trying to ride on the heels of other successful companies. The Uber of this, the Netflix of that, the Airbnb for whatever… These shortcuts may help people understand what you do but are incredibly cliche. And lazy. Comparative marketing is one thing, but this is an entirely different type of marketing, and it needs to stop. Or go full-monty on Nonsense. The Billie Eilish of Towels. The amuse-bouche of Tech Support. The Ham Sandwich of dog leashes. So many possibilities.
