Night Custodian Lauro Castaneda of the Richards Group scheduled a meeting Tuesday afternoon with ExactoClick Director of Southwest Sales Thomas Knowschaim after Knowschaim’s repeated attempts to meet with Richards Group media team members failed to bear fruit.  According to witnesses at the scene, Knowschaim admits that Castaneda isn’t the ideal audience for his pitch, but insists that he just needs to “get in front of someone, anyone at the agency.”  ”Look,” Knowschaim said, “all I need is 20 minutes of your time, and you’ll be so blown away at how perfect my proposal is for your client that you’ll want to sign right then and there.”  Castaneda, who has limited media buying experience, reportedly took the meeting as a courtesy.  ”I really don’t know what he’s talking about,” said Castaneda.  ”But he promised to bring in cupcakes, and I usually get kind of hungry in the afternoon, so I figure it’s a win-win.”

Jenny Williams of Exageraclick.com delivered the 16,000th cupcake to the San Francisco office of Publicist & Hal Whiney in less than one week late Tuesday, according to Tiffany, the receptionist at the front desk.  The twelve cupcakes, neatly wrapped in light purple box from Sweetiecups, were destined for the desk of Joan Radcliffe, who sent out an RFP for the Huggies account last Thursday.  According to Radcliffe, she sent out the RFP to approximately 16 publishers and has received 24 proposals, 4 bottles of wine, and exactly 16,008 cupcakes to date.  ”I’m only halfway through the proposals,” said Radcliffe, “and I think I’ve already gained like 6 pounds.  I mean, I like red velvet as much as the next person, but this is getting a little ridiculous.  Can’t someone send an assistant over?  I mean, what the hell am I gonna do with 27 boxes of Sprinkles cupcakes?  Besides, I’ve always been a Kara’s Cupcakes girl.”
