The masterminds behind the Hubspot blog, an inbound marketing firm that offers a one-stop shop software for managing and recruiting clients, knows we all screw up when we’re playing the social media game. It’s inevitable, and the Internet tends not to let us live down the worst ones, at least not for a while.
Hubspot has an interesting approach. To borrow a line from Corey Eridon’s post about the circles of marketing hell:
We’ve all committed marketing offenses. Hopefully nothing bad enough to get yer arse canned, but you know, people mess up. But sometimes there are offenses so egregious, so blasphemous, so INCREDIBLY REPREHENSIBLE that we just can’t help but … make a content visualization about it.
Sure, why not? While it may be a little crude, if we can’t laugh at our own mistakes we probably should laugh at others. Check out Hubspot’s 9 circles of marketing hell below and see where you fit. If you’re up for it, leave your most heinous (or chuckle worthy) offense in the comments below.
