More corporate lame-ness

Monday, March 1st, 2010

This was too long for a tweet, so I had to make a post to sufficiently de-rant.

Last September, HG Brands contacted me and claimed to be a “designer with rights to the CFL and Saskatchewan 100th anniversary”. They asked if they could use this particular photo in a promotional poster. I said Sure! I would be honoured! In return, they offered to send me some of the Rider swag that they make. Maybe a t-shirt or two for myself and my husband!? I said Sure! Even better!

6 months later, the t-shirts haven’t shown up. I think about it every once in awhile (and even sent a couple of “did you forget about me?” follow-up emails that were ignored) and am mildly annoyed. Not because we didn’t get swag. Not because they used my photo for free. Just because they offered something and didn’t follow through. Lame.

Where’s the integrity, people?
