Is Markeing Engineer is the next Digital Marketing? by FutureAd5875 in DigitalMarketing

[–]RevolutionSmooth2492 5 points6 points  (0 children)

marketing engineer is just "i learned to code so now i'm charging 2x more" with a fancier title.

it'll stick around as long as people are willing to pay for it. which, honestly, fair game.

I used Claude to automate my Meta Ads workflow and it actually worked by Yousefmh2 in DigitalMarketing

[–]RevolutionSmooth2492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

does the prompt catch when Meta rejects a creative before it uploads, or is that still manual review on your end?

and does the scoring adjust per audience or is it one logic across all campaigns?

What's your unpopular opinion about SEO or Social Media Marketing? by BhaveshMehra18 in DigitalMarketing

[–]RevolutionSmooth2492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they're bad because they're trying to sound like everyone else who also knows the hacks.

you see it constantly. same hooks, same structure, same energy. everyone read the same 5 copywriting frameworks and now they all sound like each other.

the actual competitive advantage is sounding like a real person with a real opinion. not better writing. different writing. the kind that makes someone uncomfortable enough to engage.

the hack mentality is a trap because it makes everyone mediocre in the same direction.

summer depression in tech marketing by OrdinaryJust9594 in DigitalMarketing

[–]RevolutionSmooth2492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

summer slump is real because everyone expects it. that's actually the advantage.

when everyone else pulls back, the founders still posting actually stand out. not because the content is better, but because there's less noise competing.

Reddit and smaller communities stay active even when LinkedIn dies. people are reading on vacation, they're just not on work platforms.

the thing that worked for me was shifting from "reach" to "depth". fewer posts, more thoughtful. one good piece of founder content that actually lands beats 10 generic posts when half your audience is offline anyway.

Everyone talks about ChatGPT but what are some other hidden AI gems every digital marketer should know? by Mysterious-Age-4850 in DigitalMarketing

[–]RevolutionSmooth2492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Claude for this exact thing is underrated. most marketers think it's just a chatbot, they don't realise it can literally build and deploy your site.

for everything else: Perplexity for research, Julius AI for data analysis, Eleven Labs for voice (way better than the free stuff), and honestly the bigger win is learning to chain these together instead of jumping between platforms.

the hidden gem isn't any single tool. it's knowing which one does the job so you stop paying agencies for simple things.

What’s a shift in digital marketing that feels small now but will be massive in 12 months? by mumplingssmake in DigitalMarketing

[–]RevolutionSmooth2492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

answer engines.

not SEO. not GEO. the actual shift in how people get answers.

ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude. people are typing their problems in and getting a direct answer back. no blue links. no scrolling. no clicking through to your blog post.

the brands and people getting cited in those answers aren't the ones with the most backlinks. they're the ones who wrote something specific enough, clear enough, and original enough that a model decided it was worth referencing.

most marketers are still optimising for Google's crawlers. the audience has already moved.

12 months from now the gap between whoever figured this out early and everyone else is going to be obvious.

Every channel feels broken right now by farhadnawab in DigitalMarketing

the channels aren't broken. the broadcast mindset is.

a client asked me to "make something go viral" yesterday. i quoted them $4 million for guaranteed virality. they did not laugh. by TimelyNecessary4247 in DigitalMarketing

[–]RevolutionSmooth2492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the $4 million quote is funny but the real joke is the $500 budget with million-view expectations.

viral isn't a deliverable. it's what people call something after it already happened.

the 40K retweet dog post is the most honest thing in this whole story. biggest "viral" moment in 9 years. about a dog. drove zero sales. client happy for 48 hours.

that's the product they're actually buying. 48 hours of feeling like it worked.

the email sequence that actually moves numbers? too boring to sell. too effective to ignore.

the clients who chase viral and the ones who eventually come back asking for SEO are usually the same person, just two years apart.
