Remind me again why I’m out of the agency world

OK… the beat up on the pitch letter meme has pretty much run it’s course.

Or so I thought until I just got a little missive from an account executive at one of the larger, more well known PR agencies. I’ll spare you the several pages of blah blah blahbitty blah.. but this part just stuck out like a sore thumb…

I think that the information found on name deleted to protect the guilty would also prove to be a valuable resource for visitors to your site who are looking to get a jump on their competition, grow their business, and provide value for customers and stakeholders.

If you have been reading my blog you would have realized that most visitors come here for snarky comments from an agency burnout.

And if my referal logs are to be believed, the person who sent me the email is on this site right now. In other words, they sent out the pitch and now they are sitting in their cubicle anxiously hitting the refresh button.

One other thing. Requesting a ’sidebar mention’ is fine if you are dealing with a magazine editor. Bloggers put ads on their sidebars.

  • What a mess. Plus that sentence you quoted was so jumbled, all I saw at first glance was "a valuable resource for visitors to your site who are looking to jump their competition..."
  • Well, maybe being HQ'ed in St. Louis has left them without a clue in the world?
