Marketing manager in Cleveland, US - 27
What do you like to do in your free time?
I play ice hockey in a men's league comprised of mostly men in their 30's or 40's. I also coach a youth hockey team of 12,13 and 14 year olds. I enjoy writing about my passions including ice hockey, but also podcasts, fishing and narrative story telling.
What do you know the most about?
I've worked in marketing for ~10 years. I wouldn't say that I'm wildly passionate about it, but I think I have learned a great deal about communication, branding and mass appeal.
What do you like about the Listserve?
I like unique offerings, such as when someone uses the Listserve in an unconventional format. There was a submission early this year where the writer penned a note from Satan. It was funny, and unique. I like simple stories from people's lives. I like when they're thought out and well formatted. I like emails with white space.
What do you NOT like about the Listserve?
People that cobble together an email at the last minute. Half of the text being used to explain that they have nothing to share. Long lists of book/recipe/song recoomendations.
Why are you interested in this project?
I've shared the idea of the Listserve with a lot of people. Some are initially interested only to relegate the emails to their spam folder relatively quickly. Others, though, love it as much as I do. And we talk about the emails that interest us. I am curious to see how this evolves. I was also drawn in by the design thinking.
