I wrote this email because I want to work with Damon Stapleton and he just became the ECD of Saatchi & Saatchi, Sydney. I tried the different email combinations and they all bounced. I’m putting it to the internet gods, plus my 5-strong readership (thanks guys).
Hi Damon,
I work just down the road from the Saatchi office at The Arts Exchange. Each morning, as I approach the grand doors to the Saatchi & Saatchi building on George street, I slow my pace and peak into the office/construction site. My stomach drops, like the first time I rode the Bush Beast at Wonderland*.
Always having a deep appreciation for the man himself, and basing an opinion off incredible work the has come out of Saatchi and Saatchi in the past, I dream of one day not just walking past but into the doors of that creative wonderland. But more than that, I want to work beside one of the best in the industry. This is the part where I tell you how much I love your work and that people like you are the reason why I got into advertising.
Now I assume you’ll be wanting to fill your brand-spanking-new office with some brand-spanking-new creatives - that’s where I come in.
My story: Studied Graphic Design, stuffed around working meaningless jobs, doing a little freelance design and travelling, decided to do AWARD School, did it, loved it and I’ve freelanced and annoyed ad-guys since.
I’d love to come in sometime and show you my book.
* If this reference is confusing, here is a brief overview.
Over and out.
Vanessa
