Another option - hire high ranked member to post ANN thread. But you need to find member with good reputation.
For me, if you do something like this I'd see you as trying to 'fake' your reputation. It's better if you use your own account, Copper member is made for this purpose. Who post your ANN & Bounty thread doesn't bring any credibility if your project is not good. You should focus on your project more than deciding how you made your ANN & bounty thread.
I understand your point and I think you're right that it gives fake reputation to project, because person who posted ANN aren't part of ICO devs team. Personally, I was hired to post announcements for few ICO's and it was quite successfull. But as I remember, back then there was no Copper memberships available. I agree that it's not crucial thing who posted announcement. But about bounties - let's leave this thing to professionals. I think all ICO's must hire manager for their bounty campaign
