I do not fight, have not fought and hate fighting. I would love to punch this person firmly between the eyes though.

I want to be socially awesome so I can be …like …like …like awesome! Like!
Yes, it’s terrible but kudos to the man for actually doing work for his employer.
Seems he needs someone higher up to give a little guidance on how not to approach potential clients/humans/anyone with an email address/social account.
This is very amusing, but a bit cruel. It’s pretty easy to find out who this person is.
I agree with @Shame.
My view on getting cheap laughs like this has always been made clear. I cringe with embarrassment that our industry does this stuff and Mumbrella need not have been so overt to shame an individual and could have been more discreet in concealing identity.
@shame. This appears to be an unsolicited communication. This awesome person’s employer is in the communications industry. Fair game.
I might hire him. My lead business KPI is “To make my business socially awesome”. Tick. Now next KPI.
@ shame. I found him on Linkedin in 2 seconds
@ Daniel. I don’t think anyone higher up is going to give him guidance. Check out their site. I’ve never seen the word awesome repeated so many times on one page… 8 times under the About Us section.
Either he started the company or his tone is just a reflection of what a “fun”, “awesome” place it is to work “with each member proactively being happy”
Guy works in Sales would of sent 100 of that same email. At the very least he would of hit his inputs.
Tim, you must feel incredibly loved right now!
I believe they should show examples of correspondance such as this to marketing students.
This is just bullying.
Um, Tim. Is he trying to pick you up?
@ Grow up. No, this is not bullying. This is a marketing commentary website pointing out the vapidity of certain practitioners in our industry. Did this thinksocializer vet the recipient and his business? What sort of thinksocializing might mUmBRELLA actually need? What’s the most appropriate tone of voice when making a cold-call like this? Jordan PM is correct, this is a best-practice example of how not to approach a business.
*blur* is a grown up. *blur* needs to understand social media a bit better.
Their job title should be WankMaximiser.
