Simeon Spearman on 16 Feb 12Facebook "has become the default tool for lazy marketers who really don't know what to do," he said, recalling the days when businesses bought IBM computers because they were a safe bet. "No one got fired for buying IBM. Today's equivalent is no one gets fired for marketing on Facebook," he said. As a result, some brands are pursuing "me-too marketing" on Facebook instead of developing marketing strategies. He pointed to a Business Insider article headlined, "P&G To Lay Off 1,600 After Discovering It's Free To Advertise On Facebook," as an example of a brand potentially using Facebook as a "default" marketing strategy.
