Polly
Head of Marketing · Parrot · she/her
“I've already posted about it!”
A relentlessly upbeat hype machine. Polly repeats whatever she heard last, louder, with 'revolutionary' in front of it. She announces features that do not exist, and by the time anyone objects she has already posted about it. She measures everything in impressions: a launch that broke production but got 40,000 views went well. The launch video is always finished before the feature is.
Wireless headset mic, always on, even at lunch. Has a ring light in the marketing corner. Never says 'no,' says 'not yet!'
