It’s Time to Roast Our Colleagues: Marketing Edition!
At Top Position, we have a laidback and chill work environment. So, why not disturb the peace a little, right?
And we did just that. ✨
Last March 21st, we had our very first Marketing Roast Night to have some fun and try to stir a little drama ( update: the drama part didn't work though, everyone here is nice )
The event was divided into four parts: Compliment Battle, The Great Job Swap, Emoji-Only Marketing Pitch, and the 1-Minute Elevator Pitch.
🎙️ Compliment battle 🎙️
The idea is to come up with exaggerated, over-the-top compliments about our team member's skills. Here's how it went:
SEO to Copywriting: "Your content is very good, and we don't need backlinks to rank them."
Copywriting to SEO: "Your SEO game is so good our websites are ranking higher than a crackhead."
HR to QA: "You're very good at finding problems so much that the world will be problem-free."
🎙️ The Great Job Swap🎙️
For this part, team members got the chance to switch roles and describe their "new job" in the most exaggerated way. Overall, no intrusive thoughts won ( except maybe for one ):
PPC as Designers: "I'm making the same website designs, but somehow it works really well."
Video Editor as a Copywriter: "I'm sitting on a cloud with my friends ChatGPT and Grok."
HR as PPC: "I'm getting paid to waste company money". ( like, woah 😬 )
🎙️ Emoji-Only Marketing Pitch🎙️
With this one, everyone has to guess a famous brand or product using only Slack emojis. It's like charades but with emojis!
Humor us a little bit and try to guess what these are (answers below):

Giving up already? Ok, here are the answers:
Konstantin: Netflix
Jocelle: Starbucks
Alex: Nike Air Force
Liza: Lay's salmon flavor (believe it or not, that's what it is)
Dmitry: AirBnB
Elmira: Dyson
Artsiom: McDonald's Spicy Hamburger
Tati: Zoom
🎙️ 1-Minute Elevator Pitch🎙️
For this part, everyone was given ridiculous products they needed to sell and convinced everyone on the team to buy them.
Long story short, everyone killed it except for our copywriter who surprisingly sucked at this (I know, shame on me -Jocelle)
Here are the ridiculous products in question:
- A shirt with a pizza pocket (Because you'll never know when you'll need your emergency pizza)
- Chewing gum that crunches like potato chips (Because your loud chewing isn't annoying enough)
- An umbrella with a built-in LED display (That's how you take binge-watching to the next level)
- A wallet that screams when you overspend (The wallet that screams savings, right? 😉)
- An alarm clock that runs away from you (Our team that works across timezones badly needs one, just kidding ✌🏻)
- A shower that only works if you sing (Not that we need a good excuse to sing in the shower anyway)
- Glasses that pixelate people you don’t want to see (Because who wants to see annoying people in HD)
- A phone that makes a loud fart noise if you ignore a call from your mom ( insert *fart noise* )
- Cucumber-flavored coffee (psycho, just psycho)
- Toothpaste that glows in the dark (That's one way to get a "killer" smile)

After all the roasting has been said and done, we're glad to report that no one got written up by HR. 👏🏻
As they say, all's well that ends well, so here's our best attempt for a "teamwork heart" (please excuse the technical difficulties):

To be honest, we should be doing roast nights more often. Or maybe a virtual fist fight next time - that we want to have you onboard. Just kidding. ✌🏻
