Blake S replied to the proactive engagement verification post with two client hold notes. Existing notes cover earlier versions of these holds; this is the updated Aug 21 status.
NOTE: Client is Jeffrey (not Jeff). Blake S flagged that we should not accidentally call him Jeff. He is Jeffrey Evans.
Jeffrey Evans (Mantis VC)
Pause status: still paused as of Aug 21. Jeffrey requested a pause on engagements until they talk. Blake S said he will have an update next week. Bloomberg: reminder to discuss in Monday call.
Brentan Alexander (Roebling)
Pause status: still paused as of Aug 21. Brentan asked us to hold off on engagements until quality picks up. He has been unhappy with the comments.
LinkedIn impressions note
Separate: LinkedIn does show impressions on comments to the account owner. When the scheduling tool is set up and clients authenticate, Hermes could pull those. Blake S suggested manually pulling for now if wanted. Houck said no need to manually pull.
Reminder for Monday call
Blake S flagged both Jeffrey and Brentan pauses should be on the Monday call agenda to restart the conversation.
