Firstly, apologies because this is a bit of a mis-use of this space. However, I couldn’t find another means to contact you so I hope you’ll forgive me. Anyway, I’m sure you’re very busy so i’ll cut to the chase…

I work for a small Social Media agency (3 man to be precise) and we’re currently working for Vauxhall on the launch of the new Astra. We’ve built what we call a ‘Conversational Hub Site’ (a microsite in Laymans terms) called ‘Torque Astra’ and if I’m honest, we’re struggling a little. Tasked with generating traffic and creating an engaged & active community of car enthusiasts, we’re currently falling a little short.
However, I think (with only a whiff of bias) that we have some really good content on the site so am subsequently a bit miffed!

I’ve been having a look round similar sites, blogs and forums etc on a mission to learn from the pros and get a feel for what other people are doing. In the process of carrying out this research, I came across your site and (I’m told flattery often works here) really enjoyed having a look around and in partucualr reading some of the reviews. Because of this, I was hoping to pick your brains and (if you had 5 mins) get your opinion on what we were doing well/badly with our site. I’m sure you’re very busy and understand if you can’t help, but wonder if we might be able to offer you something in return…..for example, we can facilitate test drives, factory tours, interviews and other Vauxhall related giveaways for your readers.

I look forward to hearing your thoughts

Kind regards,
Nick
