The Pitch

The Pitch 09/19/2004 08:03 AM
I got a msg from the Bush campaign (I'm a member of GOP TeamLeader) touting an HBO movie, 9 Innings from Ground Zero. The msg links to a clip about Bush throwing out the first pitch. In it, W lets us know the pressure on him not to "bounce" it. I can see why the Republicans are circulating it. It's a good piece of tape, in a patriotic-cum-Riefenstahl sense. And, on the other hand, it's maybe the most absurd reduction of a serious issue I have ever seen. You want to see American political cynicism at its worst? This is...

Offshoring where do we go next and my
run in with a pitch man 07/07/2004 07:21 PM

I felt really sorry for the guy that called the office last week. I get the holler from across the hallway hey some guy wants to talk to you about offshoring wanna take it? Hmmmmmmm those of you that have been reading here for awhile know my stance on offshoring. (When Hell freezes over) So I take the guys call. The least he could have done is called me via a real land-line instead I get the common static buzz of a net based call. We talk for about 30 minutes while I pick the guys brain nothing really brain shattering came out of the discussion.

He ask to send me some info and I say sure, I would be happy to look at their promotion material. A week later what finally shows up in my inbox, his pitch material curious read to say the least. Call me traditional, "Made in the USA" and "Support Stays in the USA". If any of you would like a copy of what they sent me drop me a line, I'll forward it to you. Companies are now weighing the backlash of their customers before offshoring some say it makes up at least 50% of the decision level process. [ZDNet]

Jim Grizanzio, OpenSolaris Community Manager: "I spent nine painful years pitching messages in PR. But I'm out now, and I have a different perspective. Why must everything be a pitch to deliver a message no one believes? And why pitch bloggers? Why perpetuate the bad PR that the PR industry so richly deserves? Why not simply read blogs to understand the issues and the communities trying to interact with a company. And why not simply blog right along with those communities and join the conversation? In other words, skip the pitch."

Jim is commenting on Fortune Magazine's recent article Why There's No Escaping The Blog.
