Recently I had the great honor of posting the very first non-review of the non-rum, Ron de Jeremy (here). To my great surprise I got an email from the CEO:
This of course was rather unexpected, as most of the objects of my satire tend to be rather thin skinned. It's a pleasure to find such a clever marketer who knows well enough to go with the flow, and to kill with kindness and, in this case, good humour.Olli Hietalahti: Jimbo, what a great interview, I laughed my ass off!
Cheers,
Olli
I responded in kind and gave him permission to use my world class non-review in his non-promotion. To which he responded, and actually offered me a freebie:
Needless to say I was both pleased and honored to be recognized as the "...by far, the best read.", but I already knew that. And of course, we really don't accept freebies. Fortunately, the Artic Wolf does...Olli Hietalahti:Thanks, as you've noticed we've had quite a few blogs write about us. Yours was by far the best read. I thoroughly enjoyed it, looked like you also had some fun writing it. Need to show it to Don Pancho also!
So you've been checking my background. Yes, there's dirty history as an adman. Don't worry, the product is coming and you will definitely get your bottle to review. We have few ideas left for more buzz. Stay tuned.
Cheers,
Olli
So I'll send it to him...
