I totally understand the hustle of emailing people you don’t know to create opportunities. I just don’t understand why obscure vendors email creatives rather than production 🤦🏻‍♂️

It’s a reasonable question from someone who probably never run a business and had payroll to make every two weeks. I run a cg production studio in SF and we email everyone. From marketing managers to product leads to creatives to production assistants. One of my best deals came from an intern forwarding our email to his boss. When we email we really don’t care if you answer , unsubscribe or send back a negative response. We just move on.

Good to know.

Because it’s not just production that finds, suggests, bids and awards vendors in a vacuum. Creatives chime in and suggest (which can lead to bids and awards) when they find vendors that speak to them, too.

They email us too. They’re hoping getting their directors or creative in front of you will lead to you ask your producer to include them on your next project. 🤷🏻‍♀️

A couple of ppl in my previous agency, saw a competitor acct try a very interesting idea that we thought was cool — but their execution was super localized, in europe, and was not even done to its fullest potential. So, they didnt get ANY press (just like two articles from random websites). Fast forward and Im at another agency, thinking that now more than ever, that idea could be done better. Is it fair game?
