Fake Marketing refers to marketing activities that may seem like they matter but don't actually generate significant results.
Examples of Fake Marketing include digital events with low attendance, podcasts with limited listenership, poorly attended side events, and excessive focus on social media platforms such as LinkedIn and TikTok.
Instead of Fake Marketing, effective strategies for driving growth include having more meetings with prospects, organizing in-person gatherings of customers and prospects, being present at industry events and channels, implementing high-quality outbound marketing with extensive research, and nurturing partnerships and channels for customer acquisition.
Marketing teams should focus on generating qualified pipeline and ensuring that the time and energy invested in marketing activities are worthwhile.
