Lil story about a domain I picked up a while ago...
Ferreo.com - not sure why I got it months ago, I'm sure about one thing though ~ back then it made sense to me.
I recently setup a catch-all email account for the domain, and just recenly I've discovered the weirdest fucking emails from people in french, italian, english... you name it.
All real emails sent to real aliases on my domain.
laurent.gripon@
Francesca.Delsarto@
dave.tucker@
wiebke.klaass@
and so on...
After some research, and reading the email headers, I've realized that I had picked up a typo domain from www.ferrero.com which seems to be some sort of Industrial Services Company in Alba, Italy.
The funniest email yet is about some sort of fuckin' Tik Tak presentation, whose slides I got, too.
Check it out:

Morning Dave, trust you had a good weekend.
Still thinking about ads to show this week.
The long list we talked about was:
Jaffa Cakes - slipped disc
Cadbury ? I suggest the latest Hyenas
Sprite ? Tent
Dr Pepper ? Over Friendly Father
Mini (which we can use to punctuate the reel e.g. the mini jumps over commercial break ad)
Stella ? I suggest Pilot
Kit Kat - librarians
Other suggestions from the agency after I sent a note asking for suggestions.
Black Current Tango ? Ray thingy epic
Land Rover ? Born Free
Pepperami ? earlier stuff
Carling Black Label (from our time on it) - Dambusters
Honda ? Diesel/Change something
John Smiths ? Top Bombing
Rowntrees ? ?what more do you want?
Heinz Salad Cream ? any of the truly revolting ones
John West Salmon ? Bears
Pot Noodle ? Slag of all Snacks
Orange cinema idents ? picture messaging
That?s probably enough challenging commercials?..do you have a moment to highlight the ones you want and I?ll get a reel put together. Depending on what you pick I can possibly get top line Millward Brown or other effectiveness snippets.
On presentation ? I?ve collected a few bits together from other account teams but nothing entirely on the topic. How about you send through the draft of where you were going with it and I?ll have a look and make a contribution?
Hope all is well.
Was the revised Tic Tac presentation any closer in your view?
Will call later with dates for a meeting with Will and Mike (Creative Directors).
Regards

Since it's getting annoying, I'll just cut off the catch-all and let the rest bounce.
Funny nonetheless.
Cheers!
