The Reddit post was created by an Aventus fan as a smear campaign. The marketing contractor that we had at the time allegedly sent some personal messages to some users on reddit that were innapropriate, and he decided to retaliate with an elongated story which really does look like a smear campaign.
We decided to investigate into the messages and could not determine what was real and what was photoshopped in this post, so we just did the easiest thing possible and let the market contractor go, separating him from the current team. He is no longer part of EventChain as of a few days after the Reddit post, and I am personally watching over our current marketing campaign and we are having no issue!
I didn't know that. Do you think some people are trying to make your company look bad by making up false claims? If you had to release the marketing manager because of targeted attacks to frame him and your company then I feel sorry for him and the team.
Yes it was unfortunate we released him purely because we could not prove if these allegations were true or it was just some early investors of Aventus who were trying to protect their investment so to say.
Our new marketing manager is well versed in not only social media but SEO and direct advertising, an improvement over the last manager! Things can turn out like this and we like to look at it as an opportunity to find someone new for the project bringing more unique benefits.
