Comments on: It Doesn’t Work to Put a Newspaper Ad on TV http://www.metzgerblog.com/2009/12/19/it-doesnt-work-to-put-a-newspaper-ad-on-tv/ Observations on social media -- and the occasional rant -- from Metzger Associates' New Media Practice Group Tue, 10 May 2011 22:39:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Doyle Albee http://www.metzgerblog.com/2009/12/19/it-doesnt-work-to-put-a-newspaper-ad-on-tv/comment-page-1/#comment-214 Doyle Albee Fri, 01 Jan 2010 02:00:13 +0000 http://www.metzgerblog.com/?p=887#comment-214 Thanks for weighing in, Jessica. However, I'd like to encourage you to be MORE irritated with off-target pitches. In my opinion, that's just bad PR. It's one thing to have a pitch that's close but off by just a little. In this case, you made it clear you're not supporter — that makes this a poorly researched, poorly targeted and poorly executed shot. That's a waste of your time and waste of the time of whoever is being paid to pitch you — agency or in-house person. Journalists have been singing this song for some time, and bloggers deserve the same respect. Thanks for the comment, and have a great New Year! And, I'll buy the burger when we're in the same city. Say when! Best, Doyle Thanks for weighing in, Jessica. However, I'd like to encourage you to be MORE irritated with off-target pitches. In my opinion, that's just bad PR.

I get dozens of very off target email pitches just in the last few weeks. In the absence of offense, I often forward them to a friend. So send me your wacky off target pitches. I'd totally be into having a burger with you... so long as it's organic. Happy New Year! I'm actually not *that* prickly. I get dozens of very off target email pitches just in the last few weeks.
