Back in May I had a little rant about a PR-services firm that kept spamming me.
Now I actually like PR newsletters, as long as there’s some value in them. I happily receive newsletter from 10-15 firms.
Where I get antsy is when there’s no value or all the links are to subscriber-only content. Then I have to ask why are you sending this to me?
Well KD Paine & Partners insist on sending their newsletter “the measurement standard” to my inbox and guess what, all the links require me to pay.
I held off naming them in my rant in May, but as they feel free to spam me, I am now implementing my right to name and shame.
I have asked KD Paine & Partners three times to unsubscribe me and I still keep on getting their newsletter. Furthermore, and far more worryingly, the latest newsletter came in via an obscure e-mail address on the Cape Clear website, so that means KD Paine & Partners are clearly spamming PR and marketing people.
Can I use this forum to suggest that KD Paine & Partners review their e-mail policy.
Does anyone else spot the irony that a self-styled PR measurement guru doesn’t even measure the response to their own newsletter?
I welcome your thoughts and if anyone is talking to them, feel free to point them here. That might be one way of getting off their mailing list…. maybe
