Hold the Page

Two email communications reach Latent Print today. One, from the address of this equity and venture capital firm's Chief Marketing Officer, invites me to introduce my proofreading services. Delighted to.
Two, from this creative and marketing placement agency's Senior Career Advocate in Boston, likes my online portfolio and wants to connect.
I'm eager to follow up. Email one makes a generic salutation (maybe because I have two last names?), yet reports that the contact comes via referral. I aim to find out how the referrer heard of me. I'll call here tomorrow morning to find out which of my marketing efforts gathers the unsolicited attention.
The agency staffer in email two announces that he found me here.
I've been contacted through that online portfolio before. Cindy Elmore, Ph.D., at this North Carolina university's School of Communications, had a grad student crawl this site for email addresses. She sent to mine a request for "consent to participate in a study that focuses on the work, perceptions, and characteristics of freelance journalists," the original email begins.
I'm glad to be found this way, because I subscribe monthly to hold the page.
