Reese Witherspoon has recently told Britain’s Daily Express that her son, Deacon, wants to be a pizza delivery boy when he grows up. So Pizza Hut took that opportunity for free and easy publicity by writing Deacon a letter.
“Dear Deacon,” writes Sandi Karrmann, identified as the “Chief People Officer” for the pizza chain, “We recently heard that you want to be a pizza delivery driver when you grow up. How wonderful! You’ve got several years to go before you can join our team, but in the meantime we’re sending you a few things, so that you can practice.” The company’s gifts to the boy include a Pizza Hut uniform “that’s just your size,” writes Karrmann, who also sent a mini-delivery car “for you to polish your driving skills,” as well as gift cards for Pizza Hut pizzas. Also included: encouragement. “We have delivery drivers who have worked for us for 10, 15, even 20 years!” says the letter. “And the same Pizza Hut drivers who deliver hot, fresh pizzas right to your door have gone on to become successful business, doctors, lawyers and, yes, actors.” In closing, Karrmann advises, “Deacon, keep on dreaming big and know that we’re saving a spot for you on our team.”
If your company isn’t one of those companies that promotes your people, you might not want to brag to the world that you have pizza delivery guys that have been doing the same thing for 20 years. Little Deacon is going to be super excited now. But he’ll probably be disappointed after he realizes that his mommie makes more than Pizza Hut’s CEO.
