The coffee that broke the rules (and why going viral won’t get you leads for your cybersecurity company) A former client of mine went viral earlier this year for something completely unexpected. She's a photographer and digital nomad, and she was staying at a hotel where the lobby coffee machine was unplugged. Instead of asking the hotel staff for permission, which she knew would be denied, she just plugged it back in and made herself a cup of coffee. She posted about it, and it was shared. Some people called her a rebel, and suddenly she was doing TV and radio interviews about the incident. It was hard to miss on my feed, but what really caught my attention was that, afterward, when I searched for her work, the viral post didn't help at all. The people who search for "travel or event photographer" never saw it. The algorithm showed it to people who thought rule-breaking was daring, disrespectful, or brave, not to people who needed her services. I see cybersecurity founders falling into the same trap. They'll post something clever that gets tons of engagement, such as a controversial take on return-to-office policies or their thoughts on the latest marketing automation trend. Great numbers, lots of comments. –But the legal teams dealing with GDPR compliance? –Are cyber risk officers worried about incident response? They're not necessarily seeing those posts. My client got famous for a week. But she didn't get booked for any photo shoots. The takeaway: –Viral content gets you likes. –Targeted content gets you leads.
