It seemed like a great idea, right up to the point where it went horribly wrong

Sending an email to introduce your P.R. firm to the newest member of one of the web's most influential tech websites: Good.

Leaving in the text in the email about how you're going to present yourself to her: Bad.

Worth a shot. Keep it short and sweet and go with more of the social network aspect. I’m sure you can use the typical techcrunch email format.

I’ve been mulling how to get them on Tech Crunch for some time, and I’m guessing she’s a West Coaster so maybe [REMOVED] will do a video with her. She clearly gets the financial end of things coming from Forbes. Definitely worth a shot in my opinion.

Whoops.
