Talking about you, not to you
Last week marketing consultant Darren Woolley got into quite a stoush with the marketing body the Australian Association of National Advertisers (AANA) after accusing it of a conflict of interest because it allows media agencies to be members.
Woolley, the boss of consultancy TrinityP3, continued the brawl yesterday in the comment thread on AdNews when he got a surprise email from the CEO of the media agency industry body the Media Federation of Australia (MFA), Sophie Madden.
Dr Mumbo assumes this was a case of typing the name of the person you’re talking about, not to, in the ‘To’ field given the subject line is: “he’s at it again”.
Just in case the email didn’t make it to its intended destination the well-connected Woolley helpfully shared the faux pas on LinkedIn, so hopefully whoever it was destined for got to see it.
Ouch! Wondering who would be the recipient of such email.
