Have you ever sent an all-company email?
I sent this one, and it ALMOST got me fired.
Two women (Shannon and Amanda) were leaving our ad agency to go work on the Jimmy Dean sausage account at another agency. They asked me to write "one of your funny emails" to invite everyone out for drinks after work on their last day.
I do not endorse nor condone this type of email writing. Use better judegement. Your actual mileage may differ, etc.....
(here's the email)
So, tonight we’ll gather at Baja Cantina to bid farewell to Shannon and Amanda, who’ll be going to TBWA/Chiat to work on the Jimmy Dean’s sausage account. That Jimmy Dean sure is a lucky guy to have two fine woman like these working on his sausage ‘round the clock.
Working on Jimmy Dean’s sausage must be a big responsibility. Let’s all hope that Shannon and Amanda can get a firm grip on Jimmy Dean’s sausage and work it into that tight, almost impenetrable place in consumers’ heads.
It’s no easy task to put Jimmy Dean’s sausage on the lips of consumers. What if focus group participants don’t like the taste of Jimmy Dean’s sausage in their mouth? Jimmy Dean’s sausage would be harder than ever, and could Shannon and Amanda handle Jimmy Dean’s sausage in a situation like that? I think so. I even believe, firmly, that they will make Jimmy Dean’s sausage grow to unprecedented size.
I can see them riding Jimmy Dean’s sausage to the top of that agency. And once Jimmy Dean’s sausage is satisfied with it’s impressive growth and consumers are grabbing Jimmy Dean’s sausage wherever they can, I bet Shannon and Amanda will be tapped to tag team once again on one of Chiat’s other food accounts, say, Uncle Ben’s Long Grain.
So join us at Baja Cantina tonight to wish them good luck and give them a spunky send-off!
