Dear Jen,
Thank you for your time last week. It was nice to meet the PPTV team. We look forward to working with you in the future.
As requested, please see below our Bundesliga proposal (please share with your team as I’m writing from Japan and don’t have their email addresses on hand).
Please also see attached a copy of the presentation. As the video was too heavy, kindly download separately at https://www.dropbox.com/s/5zqqg9dmmlqz1cl/2015%20Calendar%20Spot_SEA_low%20res.mp4?dl=0
