General Counsel sends out complaint letter, Chief Marketing Officer sends out apology.
- vermontdevil 11y agoDoubt that high up. Probably one of the underlings or a contracted law firm.
- yeukhon 11y agoShould CEO come out and apologize? What do people recommend? If I were the boss, and found my company's action took the wrong way, would I, the CEO, not get involved in the public apology?
- ikeboy 11y agoIt depends on how large the mistake is compared to how large the company is.
- morganvachon 11y agoIt's in the article itself, yes it was "that high up": "This morning, we were sent a follow-up e-mail offering an "IMAX-sized" apology from IMAX Chief Marketing Officer Eileen Campbell."
- waterlesscloud 11y agoI think GP means the General Counsel didn't personally send the first email, which might well be the case.
- morganvachon 11y agoCould be. Still, the original letter appeared to come directly from a lawyer with an @imax.com email address, and she holds the title of Chief Administrative Officer and Corporate Secretary: http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ars-technica-letter.pdf http://cdn.arstechnica.net/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/ars-te...
- phonon 11y agoG. Mary Ruby's been there since 1987, and is a former General Counsel (amongst other things). https://www.imax.com/corporate/management/ https://www.imax.com/corporate/management/ So not an intern, that's for sure.
- vermontdevil 11y agoSure. It's sent on behalf of the CAO/Corporate Secretary. But come on - I doubt the GC spends time reading Ars Technica for violations of trademarks. This seems a classic mistake of a staff member without thinking the impact on company's PR.
