  Besides ad agencies, do you send emails to stores, various companies, etc?

  Anyone you got on well with when you on the agency side who has since moved on to the client side.

  @Redmond,

  I have some friends that sent out around 100 "promo pieces" to their dream companies...(not these companies..but similar..Volcom-MTV-Nike) etc...and they got a bunch of work from it...Maybe create a specific piece and mail that out..

  ok thanks, I guess some of it must get through. I was only trying to find submission emails or art directors.
