How to Email (almost) Anyone

  • Google, Verbatim Search: Only shows results for exactly what you have searched.
  • LinkedIn: Used to find employees of studios/agencies/designers etc. 
  • Hunter.io: Finds any listed email address associated with searched website.
  • Trial and Error: Most obvious addresses, e.g. name@company.com
  • BCC Elimination: Variations of most obvious addresses, emails retuned are wrong etc.
Should no email be available, try the next best approach to making contact. This may be via social media, or through an alternative organisation associated with the person you desire to contact.

Points to Remember

  • Context is key.
  • Email should be used to establish contact, avoid back and forth.
  • Be concise and to the point.
  • Include a really clear ask.
  • Make a reply easy.
