Is it normal for your founder/CCO to constantly email the entire agency to like and comment on posts the company puts on instagram?

It’s like when they ask the whole agency and their family and friends to vote for their Super Bowl spots in the Ad Meter or their Finalists in the Webby’s popular vote categories. Or their kids in the baby photo competition. Except your name is associated with the instagram like so a little more obvious it’s just employees and not genuinely popular.

Normal? Sure.

Desperate and unethical? Also yes.

I feel this is something smaller agencies do. Whenever someone writes a negative review on our Glassdoor there’s magically a 5* review within the next week. As though our COO goes around asking people they can trust if they’ve left a review and if they’d please leave a positive one.

We were also recently asked if anyone wants to be a LinkedIn influencer for the company and post about our blogs, events, and whatnot.

If their followers aren’t liking and commenting on posts, there’s a deeper issue your CCO needs to open their eyes to.

Nice to see your CCO take such a hands on approach. Usually that’s a job for the Marketing or PR team.

Not just that but encourage mass clickings on new client micro-sites to show engagement and , once, when we had a Super Bowl spot, blow up the USA Today polling with round-the-clock votes.
