Since your job description at Synerise is "Communication & Marketing Specialist", maybe you'd like to know that posting a comment like that on a post by your director of marketing makes you look like a fraud, which is very bad communication.
I'm not going to check out your product if you need to fake excitement like that. (Are you going to claim the marketing campaign was a huge success because someone left a very positive comment?)
- ingaleder 6y agoI have not provided any false information here, it is included in the press release and available to the public. Just because I'm a member of the company's team doesn't mean I can't be impressed with the AI department's performance and give my opinion on the product. I wish you all the best
- yorwba 6y agoOf course you can be impressed by your own company's product, and I don't think you were trying to be dishonest, but people are going to react differently to an engineer being exited to finally discover a faster solution to their problem vs. someone whose literal job it is to promote their company. If you stay around on HN, you'll see e.g. Google employees adding "Disclaimer: I work at Google, but on a different product." when they answer Google-related questions. That builds both relatability and trust.
- ingaleder 6y agoThank you for the advice, I will definitely pay more attention to it in the future. It's only those who do nothing that make no mistakes ;)
