Ft @@ACQUIRED STYLE @DaniellePheloung @Bran Flakezz @Adrian Per @Jaclyn Johnson If you’ve ever had a dream, the first step is usually sending the cold message!! All your favorite creators you look up to also started at zero. They built it by asking, reaching out, and hearing “no” more times than anyone saw. There’s no ego in shooting your shot and you never know which message will change your life. 💖 Huge thank you to Flodesk for being the go to platform for helping make these creator businesses possible and for sponsoring these interviews at Cannes Lions. 💛

craziest cold messages ever sent that worked!

Transcript

What's the craziest cold message you sent that worked? When I wanted to work at Goldman Sachs, I reached out to a connection I had and he answered and he got me in the door, so it worked. When I had a very small following in the beginning, I reached out to hundreds of brands pitching myself and a lot of them didn't answer but it still got me to where I am today. I mean, I've DM'd like a bunch of brands being like, hi, will you work with me? Like, I don't really think it's anything crazier than that, though. I said, can I go shoot something for you? They're like, hell yeah, let's do it. And I'm talking about like really glit people and I'm like, I can't believe that worked. Probably to Martha Stewart's team. I sent it like three years before I ever got her to speak and really like nurtured that relationship, so I would think I would say that one. Are you busy tonight? We're moving forward.
