When did bump emails become so vanilla?
‘Thoughts’
‘Checking in’
‘Bump’
They put another email in a prospect’s inbox, but they’re shallow, lacking context, and understating the work you’ve already done.

Sarah probably has a bunch of faceless bump emails in her inbox. Bumps on top of bumps more than likely!
By using a GIF, and responding in thread to one of his previous mails, Omar humaises himself and shows Sarah that he’s a real person looking for real feedback on his very real ideas and hard work.
And by pointing up, he’s directing Sarah back to that hard work when she considers her response.
It’s simple, but highly effective.
