    Before I press send... is there anything wrong with CC'ing a company's CEO on an email reply for unsolicited marketing crap and completely failed crap, at that?

    The CEO puts his email on the website with the message "If you have a comment or suggestion, send a confidential email directly to our CEO."

    I got a message in August, didn't reply. I got a follow-up in September, didn't reply. Now, I get the following from them today:

    "Yes, absolutely! If you can send over the files, we can get it sent off to our production team to make a quote for you. Do you mind telling me what kind of print collateral, so that I can advise the production team? Also, please let me know if you have any questions – I would be happy to answer them for you. Looking forward to assisting!"

    I never wrote them about anything. Never had a conversation with them. It was all unsolicited to begin with.

    • I said "If it's helpful that I CC your company's CEO to resolve this issue, please let me know. Otherwise, I don't expect any further messages from you."mg33
    • CC'd their info email address.mg33
    • So apparently they replied to the wrong person (me) when they meant to respond to someone else. On an email from September 13th...mg33
