Gotcha! Yeah, I figured you'd probably be just a little bit busy right about now. Any chance we could try some type of project for you - even something on a smaller scale? Or what about a Super Tuesday SMT from wherever she might be into many of the Super Tuesday markets? That's a larger scale project, though, I know. 

Just looking for some way to do a test ‎project or get our foot in the door with you!

Thanks, Luis. Happy Friday!

Hi Richard. I’ve been slammed with debates. The issue continues to be one of budget, but let’s find time mid-March.

Hey there, Luis.

I hope this e-mail finds you well. I tried sending this last week, but it bounced back for some reason. 

I know it’s a busy time and only getting busier. Do you have some time for us to re-connect sometime in the next few days? I’m happy to come to your office if that’s easier for you. Would love to talk about being able to do a project together to show you what we’re capable of doing.

Thanks so much, Luis. I look forward to re-connecting with you.

Thanks Richard. Just tried you and spoke briefly with Howard. At this time we won’t have the budget for next week, so this debate is out as an option, but I’m using the proposal to look at the possibilities for January since we have a better window to work with. Will keep you posted. Let’s touch base after Jan 1.

Hi Luis,

Are you free sometime this afternoon, perhaps, to chat for a couple of mins about our proposal for television and radio outreach for the morning of the 16th?

Thank you so very much, Luis!

Hi there, Luis.

I hope that all is well with you and that you enjoyed what I hope was a relaxing Thanksgiving holiday. 

Following up our meeting, my colleague, Raul Martinez, and I had a long conversation with Mitch Malasky regarding the technical capabilities of your studio. While there is great potential with your current studio and while it does certainly have the capability of doing simple one-off live shots, based on a variety of reasons (limited phone lines, limited multiple IFB back-to-back dialing, non-existent or limited b-roll playback capability, and generally older equipment), I think to do a full-fledged SMT/RMT, it is best to use an outside studio. So, for the potential upcoming project for December 16th, I would suggest using a non-DNC studio located somewhere conveniently in downtown, DC. There are a couple of different options for studios that we could choose from (pending their availability that morning). 

Separately, as relates to the studio, we’d like to have the opportunity to consult with you to work to make your studio upgraded and more technically capable, which I think would save the DNC money on separate outside studio costs in the near and long-term future. Perhaps you’d be open to a separate consulting contract for that work. 

With that said, attached, please find our proposal for a two-hour (12 interview) television satellite media tour for December 16th, the morning after the Republican debate. I have made the proposal with several additional options. First, you have the option of adding more hours of television interviews in blocks of one-hour each (increments of six interviews each). So, instead of 12 TV interviews, you can do 18 or 24, etc. Additionally, we added in the option of doing radio bookings for you as well. These are also presented as options on the proposal in blocks of hour-long tours (as with television, with each hour being six interviews). So, the basic proposal as priced is for 12 television interviews, with the option to add more TV and to also add radio.

I’m happy to and would love to set up a call with you tomorrow to further go over our proposal with you and answer any questions that you may have. Thank you, Luis. I hope you have a great evening and I look forward to hopefully working together with you on this project.

Richard
