Sorry, We’re Not Buying

Image courtesy www.quotz.com

Media Executive (ME) instructed a member of her staff (HS) to present a marketing proposal for a high-end automobile brand. In exchange for featuring the brand in its various magazines, ME requested for a car. HS did her part and delivered what was expected. However, the automobile company rejected the offer. ME got irked when she heard the explanation and rejection of HS. ME reprimanded HS and berated the staff for not doing the work properly.

Perhaps feeling slighted by the rejection, ME just wouldn't budge. She did the unexpected and decided to do the presentation herself and again, requested for the ex-deal. Sadly, the car company was firm in its decision and declined the offer the second time around. ME left very disappointed and embarrassed. As the head of the company, it is not in her job description to do what she did for she has a staff to take care of such matters. And yet, even she got rejected. Certainly, the act only made ME look cheap and desperate.

Well, at least, ME gave it a shot. However, getting mad at the staff was uncalled for. Did not ME realize that the automobile company might still be trying to re-establish itself after it closed shop some years ago? Hence, exchanging one of their cars for ad placements did not seem like a sound investment at that point.

Can you identify who ME is? Please abide by the RULES in writing comments if you want me to post them. Initials and comments that are too explicit will not be accepted.

    14. Very bright explanation Anonymous July 29, 2012 10:57 AM! Yan ang totoong matalino. Wala naman kasing stated subject yung comment kaya hindi na dapat pag talunan kung "need" or "needs" ang dapat gamitin. Puro nagmamagaling karamihan ng tao dito kaya nakakatuwa minsan pag may nag-troll tas pinatulan ng mga nagmamarunong e. Sila pa tuloy muktanga!

      Delete
    15. O ayan, FP! Ang mga estudyante mo, di lang mga chismosa, mga English Pulis din! Hahaha!

      Delete
    16. hayaan na natin ang mga English Police.. maski papano natututo tayo dito.. pero tama ang "need more clues", obviously ang nagtatanong eh ung sumulat (I), hindi naman sya nagtatanong para sa third person na singular (he, she)...
      "I" and "You" plural form kaya "need" lang.. third person in singular ay "he, "she" kaya ang gamit dun "needs"
      yan ang natatandaan ko sa english class ko, mahina ako dyan kaya nag-aaral pa din ako, kahit nag-wo-work na.. :P

  15. Hirap ng BI mo today, fp! Na work out na naman ang brain cells ko. Here's my guess. Based on the clues, ME is a media executive involved in publishing. Dito, dalawa lang yung alam ko who have a wide readership. Ang isa also owns a TV company and the other one owns a plane company involved in the thrilla in manila. Between the two and based on the picture na pusong nagdadrama, maybe this is ms. conscious. i'm not sure if she's involved with the print arm of kapams pro she's the only media executive i know! hehe.. ang car company, is it day whoo?! parang nawala sila a few years ago.

    2. Agree Anon 1:03am, I guess miss galvanized is the BI here who retired from the kaheart station. The publishing company is own by the owner of the airline company and the chain of dept stores. If indeed, she did ask for an ex-deal, this is very uncalled for and unethical. Para namang naghihirap siya.

      Delete
    3. ung ex-deal walang problema, kasi kahit anong company lalo na ung mga tv or print media, majority naman sa kanila ex-deal ang usapan lalo na sa pag-sponsor ng mga event nila o kahit pang personal pa ng mga executive... ang hindi lang maganda dito ung papagalitan ang staff...

  24. I can only think of one VERY prominent media executive in the PUBLISHING industry. Her name kinda rhymes with the first word of the BI. Ang babaeng walang leeg kaya pala puro walang leeg yung mga cover ng magazines nila. Hehehe. Still, I admire her for standing out in an industry dominated by men. Yun nga lang, parang na co-corrupt na sya ng kanyang status. Hay.

    ReplyDelete
  25. ME - galvan-ized iron - tigas talaga, nag-retire daw tapos lumipat lang pala. HS - PJ - the talent thief. Auto Company - abangan complete list of prizes ng AA battery, pag may car yun yon. pag wala di na close ang ex deal.

  34. Yap, this is not me. It's the other publication!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Based on one of the comments, I think this is sari sari store. There are only two fashion magazines that dominate this country. I mean their readership must be really wide for her to think that the company will go for her offer.
    Another thing, she is the only woman I know who is an executive to a big publishing company. She looks really demanding and strict.
    Lastly, trulalo wala siyang leeg. Hahaha.

  45. Bukod sa MAKAPAL ang fez ni ME, shonga pa siyah when it comes to knowing the market of real high-end cars (e.g. Ferrari, Lamborghini). Hendeh nadadala sa media hype of features ang mga buyers netoh because of their brand equity - it's already pre-set in their minds to buy the car. Ateh, fashion-related companies ka na lang at nakakahiya kah :)
