Hi,
My name is K*nn*th D*smond.
No I am not an alcoholic nor a shopaholic, I'm someone who probably have crossed paths with you.. could have been anytime between a good 5 years ago to 4 hours ago along the streets of Tiong Bahru.
Well, this isn't an initiative set up by my boss or my bosses' boss to touch base with you in hopes of digging some job out..but hey, if it does strike that vein in your head than I'll be more than glad but hold that thought for now.
Ok, so here it is.. the purpose of this email..
We all know the economical climate today doesn't look too bright, everyone's squeezing each other for either a place in the market / industry and those who already have share in this industry have their budgets slashed if not someone's getting slashed. (at least we have one of the problems solved with the capture of Mas Selamat)
Quirky as it may sound, it's the honest truth, we have to face it.. times are getting tough..actually times are already tough.. even the Merlion's not spared.
As I sit here at my desk to type this, I ponder the best way to get my message across.. You see, if I wanted to tell you who we are and what we can do for you, I would have sent you my Company's website to browse or a company eDM.
Honestly I'm kinda tired of the current economical situation, (who isn't)..
- Do you have the same KPIs / ROIs with lower budgets?
You're not alone. I feel you.
Maybe you've already acclimatize to the situation or,
you've taken action to explore other options..
cheaper alternatives with agencies that don't have to feed:
- 20 Art-Directors
- 8 Copy-Writers
- 7 Finalizers
- 8 Executives
- 1 Huge Boss and a
- 7 storey building with marble flooring and a pantry bigger than my kitchen
I would have done the same if I were in your shoes.
Well, I now represent a company called C*riosity.
Yes, we're an advertising agency (IMC) like the many out there who claims to be passionate and effective.
We are.
Why we stand out from the rest if we offer the same disciplines other IMCs / Agencies offer?
We're not plastic.We tell it like it is.
We don't want to work with you. We want to understand you.
You're not a Client. You're a Friend.
We don't want a Business opportunity. We want a relationship.
We don't have to feed 150 mouths nor build a 7 storey building with marble floors.
Now if you still have that tingling feeing at the back of your head..take a deep breath and pick up the phone..You'll feel much better once you do so.
If it's just a tingling feeling in your tummy, do the same.. I'll treat you to some good food in the area!
I'll be by my table hoping to at least see some replies come in and I hope you are 1 of the few who'll do so.
It's a beginning of a relationship that will benefit you.
Thank you.
