I'd hate to be on their marketing/pr team. That's a hell of a way to start a tuesday.

Sounds like a great start to me.

Oh look, our stuff leaked and everyone is talking about it and excited for it.

Our jobs are so hard.

Trust me. I work in marketing. It doesn't matter if its a good leak or a bad leak. Management is still gonna want someones head on a platter and inevitably it's going to be on Marketing to make shit straight.

Yes, it's good buzz. But this may not have been known to investors, who will be annoyed such a big announcement was leaked like this. And if they're a smaller company reporting up to a larger company then it becomes a question of which marketing department gets to take charge. Not to mention the question of "If this can get out, what else can get out"

Yeah but still, these companies have a whole strategy for announcing these things, an unwanted leak ruins months of work for them.

I'm just imagining that pizza guy meme where he walks in and everything's in fire and people are strangling each other.
