Matt League is a copywriter. We know that he has been working at Innocean for the past three and a half years but will be leaving for another gig.
We also know that his work on the 2014 Hyundai Super Bowl campaign landed him on Business Insider’s 30 Under 30 list for that year, and that he sent out a very, very extensive last day goodbye note today to his soon-to-be-former colleagues. Like, every one of them.
Based on our reading of this case study in obsessive compulsive behavior (the good kind), it would seem that League didn’t really know or work directly with quite a few of his co-workers. As he asks one Innoceaner, “Are you the Michelle who let me have her French fries that one time?”
There’s a bit of repetition in here, but it still totally scales. League tells us it was less a project than a last-minute idea that kept him up until 2 AM last night.
Here’s the full email…all 343 entries and 4,774 words of it.
Innocean friends, after nearly 3.5 years, it’s time for us to finally part ways. So how do you say goodbye to 343 of the best people you’ve ever had the pleasure of working with? You do it the gosh darn way they deserve. One person at a time. (scroll to find your personalized goodbye)
