[15:12:18 PM] Sally says: Hello it’s Sai Li!
[15:20:01 PM] Sally says: are you there Mr Darren? I need some help with a new event pitch… please.
[15:35:52 PM] Darren says: I’m kinda flat out at the moment Sally.
[15:36:08 PM] Sally says: It’s Sai Li now. I’m a LITTLE desert flower.
[15:43:31 PM] Sally says: Come on… heeeeeeelp me puh’lees.
[15:44:12 PM] Darren says:
[15:44:18 PM] Sally says: Cosmetic launch from Japan. We need to come up with a killer reveal and opener to their congress thingo.
[15:45:02 PM] Darren says: Okay, what’s the business name and what information can you give me about their marketing strategy and target audience profile?
[15:45:14 PM] Sally says: I want lots of champagne white, antique golds and.. get this ! Brushed silver. Pretty fab huh?
[15:45:26 PM] Darren says: Umm yes that sounds very… pretty. But what’s the product about, can you email me some collateral regarding the product?
[15:45:32 PM] Sally says: It’s made from Prunes and has a strange name.
[15:45:34 PM] Darren says: Prunes?
[15:45:36 PM] Sally says: Apparently it’s a huge seller in Japan and Korea. Great for the complexion.
[15:45:39 PM] Darren says: Prunes?
[15:45:41 PM] Sally says: Yup. But not old wrinkly ones. It’s kinda like a paste. Anyway it the event has to be really pretty and oh before I forget they want to reveal the a new range. Reveal product and the new name.
[15:45:52 PM] Darren says: umm ok. What’s the name?
[15:45:54 PM] Sally says: It’s in Japanese!!
[15:45:57 PM] Darren says: well it would be. What’s the Japanese name for this product?
[15:46:01 PM] Sally says: Not sure – it could be SPTM but not really sure. Anyway it doesn’t matter – we just need a killer look and opener. How long will you take?
[15:46:11 PM] Darren says: it’s hard to say Sai Li as I don’t really have any more information then we started other than a possibly colour scheme, a possible name for the product, and it’s all Japanese.
[15:46:24 PM] Sally says: so can I tell my clients later this week?
[15:46:27 PM] Darren says: you can tell them what you like it’s just I don’t really think I have enough information to really..,
[15:46:29 PM] Sally says: gotta run, a couple of days shoot it over.
[15:46:33 PM] Darren says: the thing is Sai Li I’m just not sure.
[15:46:35 PM] Sally says: it’ll be fab, it’ll all be just fabby fab. Gotta gotta run. Cheerios!
[15:46:44 PM] Darren says: not happy.
[15:46:58 PM] Sally says: and don’t forget - three different versions as options. Poodles!
SAI LI FROM SHANGHAI HAS LOGGED OFF.
Prunes? And its for the complexion? Obviously the Japanese don’t subscribe to the saying “like a wrinkled old prune”.
Maybe it’s just me but when I think of prunes and white, gold or brushed silver, I’m usually in a bathroom surrounded by porcelain objects, and things aren’t going tot well.
