Red Branch Media

Plagiarism from a marketing agency?!?! You better believe it. And from the CEO no less! After a lackluster few months working together supporting our marketing, the CEO personally got involved to try and save our business with them. She then proceeded to plagiarize content from one of our competitors and post it to our website without approval. Things got nasty from there, but she kept maintaining that it was not plagiarism, and a very minor copy and past error that was no big deal. Close to half of a multi page article was from several of this competitors blogs and web pages, but had been slightly reworked. In some cases, she left their trademarked product name in the article. In others, their product name was simply swapped for ours. That got us digging into much of their other work, and we found a lot more discrepancies with reporting and issues with other content as well. But I'll let you be the judge on plagiarism. Below is just a small example. Their product name was just swapped for ours, but the content ever so slightly re-written. Not sure how you accidentally copy and past such a thing. From our competitions blog post “We’re proud that teams worldwide use {COMPETITORS TRADEMARKED PRODUCT NAME} for the least complicated reason in the world: it’s easy to use, and it simply works.” What the Red Branch CEO wrote and published without approval on our website: “We’re proud that {OUR PRODUCT NAME} is used by teams worldwide for the least complicated reason in the world: it’s easy to use, and it simply works. {COMPETITORS TRADEMARKED PRODUCT NAME} is purpose-built for recruitment, …” Unscrupulous and dishonest. Avoid these folks like the plague and don't ever let them touch your brand!
