StrongMail HAS Been Working Out, At Least Some of Them

OK, we’re really feeling the love now.

In response to being included on The Magilla Marketing List of Top 40, Fastest-Growing (and some not-so-fast-growing) E-mail Marketing Related Companies that Came to Mind Randomly while Swilling Vodka Martinis, StrongMail’s vice president of product and market strategy, Tricia Robinson-Pridemore, e-mailed a note and a photo of the StrongMail team—some doing their best buff imitation, others obviously thinking: “Can we please just get this over? I have work to do.”

[Full disclosure: Robinson-Pridemore has seen me drunk. It wasn’t pretty.]

For background, the list featured 40 companies, each with a comment. StrongMail was No. 19 with the comment: “Heyyy. Have you been working out?”

In response, Robinson-Pridemore wrote: “Thanks for including us in The Magilla Marketing List of Top 40, Fastest-Growing (and some not-so-fast-growing) E-mail Marketing Related Companies that Came to Mind Randomly while Swilling Vodka Martinis. In lieu of swilling vodka, we at StrongMail HAVE been working out. Please see the attached photo of our awesomely ‘strong’ team.

“I’m not in this picture, I was at the gym bench pressing cases of Grey Goose. We want to be even ‘stronger’ in the 2008 edition!”

Here is the photo. I have no idea who most of these people are. My favorite is the fierce woman in the middle. I like the bored guys in blue, though, also.
