Sales Presentation Given At Industry Party
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009According to several witnesses at the scene, western regional sales director Derek Noklass began a media capabilities PowerPoint presentation during the DrinkLA Summer Mixer event Wednesday evening, shortly after purchasing a round of drinks for three members of the Hyundai marketing team. The 52-slide presentation was reportedly given standing up, after handing two vodka sodas and one Amstel Light to the three members of the team at approximately 8:30 p.m., nearly two hours into the industry networking event. ”We were like, what the hell is he doing?” said Jill Blakesly, a media buyer on the Hyundai team. ”He asks us if we want refills on our drinks, and we’re like ‘sure, why not?’ Then he comes back 5 minutes later with drinks and a laptop, and starts going to town on his retargeting capabilities. I mean, really? It would have almost been less inappropriate to accidentally touch my boob or something. Almost.”
