I think it depends on how familiar I am with the person. If the check-in is from someone I've associated with for a long time, it feels authentic. But if I don't really know them, it feels like a setup to get me a "good mood" which is a put off.

The emails we get for our talent are insane lol

And on the flip side, working at a Talent Agency made me realize (again) how many marketing teams don't actually research the talent they pitch

Hai friend!
