PR Fail. Seriously.
I got this today. I simply responded with a simple, yet very professional
"LOL." But, really... No, Really? This kind of thing really makes me concerned for
the sanity of society. Someone is paying someone else to send out horse shit
like this? This isn't marketing. It isn't PR. It's a waste of time, money, and
bandwidth. But it did make us laugh at lunch. In fact, the only reason I'm calling it PR is the person refers to herself as a PR Analyst.
I've left in the marketing company name at the bottom, in case anyone out there needs "help."
