“Journos like you” don’t get to go on this Junket, part three

Posted in "Your Worst PR Client Story" Contest, General, Media & PR, Thailand, The Asia Bad Pitch Project by smartbrain on the November 19th, 2007

Remember the Atos Origin country manager who blew up at Smartbrain and personally kicked him off a trip to China because he found Smartbrain annoying and didn’t want “people like you” associated with his precious Olympic Games?

Well, Atos Origin has recently posted an urgently required job wanted ad on jobsdb for, surprise surprise, a PR manager starting right away.

Anyone who applies, please get in contact with Smartbrain and do tell him what Atos Origin means when referring to “people like you”. If you can spin yourself out of that one, then you are definitely one class act of a PR and will make it to the top of the industry in no time.

Actually, if Smartbrain were the elitist country manager who views “people like us” as not worthy, he would actually include this case as part of the job interview with a question along the lines of, “So I managed to screw up and call this journalist “people like you” on my official company email. How would you say I get out of this mess?”

    Maybe “smart” brain should get acquainted with the phrase “get over it”.

    That’s a whole pile of shit he seems to have gotten himself into, from the look of things in Part 1, Part 2 and this.
    He’d probably have to face up to the consequences of his actions aka face media “wrath?”

    What do you think?

    I wouldn’t know.

    But there were two visits from Atos Origin servers last night.

    So somebody is reading this post.
