Subject: Request

Date: April 28

Dear Ms. Diaz,

My name is Wally Barnes, and I am a marketing specialist at McLerdon, Inc. My department was established earlier this year thanks to growth fueled by the loyal patronage of clients like Hevney Manufacturing. Your account manager, Mr. Quinn, has told me that McLerdon staff have had the honor of guarding Hevney's factory premises for nearly five years now.

In addition to introducing myself, I am writing to make a request. I am currently adding client logos to McLerdon’s Web site and would like to include your company’s. This would normally be authorized by the service agreement between your company and ours, but our low level of marketing expertise at the time the contract was written meant that no such provision was included. If you agree to this request, all we need is a clear image of your current logo at a size of 150 pixels by 150 pixels. However, if you prefer that we do not display your logo, please do not hesitate to let me know.

McLerdon thanks you again for your business. We hope to hear from you soon.

Best regards,

Wally Barnes

McLerdon, Inc.

Doretta Creates Stir in Podcast Industry

By Filip Knutsen

Fans of Doretta, the eight-episode audio podcast chronicling the life of novelist Doretta_ Worth, will soon have many similar offerings to listen to. Dorerta’s success has inspired its production company, Elgior Media, and several other podcast giants to develop scripted podcasts depicting interesting events and people in history. — [1] —.

According to podcast industry analytics firm Casteye, the majority of the top ten most popular podcasts are usually current events or interview shows. That is why Doretta’s achievement of mainstream popularity has made such an impression. As a historical fiction podcast, the show featured scripted dialogue performed by professional actors, sound effects, and a musical score. — [2] —. And yet, in the second month of its run, it reached number four on Casteye’s ranking list. The show still has an active discussion board on Elgior’s Web site, and the cast gave five sold-out live performances of an abridged version of its story shortly after it ended.

Some have speculated that Doretra’s distinctness was the cause of its popularity instead of a barrier to it. — [3] —, However, Casteye analyst Cynthia Myers disagrees. “After all, Doretta was not the first historical fiction podcast,” she said. “Our research indicates that it was the excellence of the show's writing and performances that appealed to listeners.”

Still, the industry believes that there is now an audience for similar projects. Elgior offered Kent Mulligan, Doretta’ s creator, a lucrative deal to develop another historical fiction podcast next year. —[4]—. Meanwhile, Lenston Studios will release 1955, a podcast detailing a championship season for the Marchand Panthers, next month, and Carryover Radio says it is currently in production on a show depicting the Murrell v. Talbert court case.
