What is a double opt-in introduction?

You ask both people privately if they want the connection before you put them on the same thread. It takes an extra day and saves everyone from an awkward CC. Use it unless they already asked to be introduced. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Is a team lead the right person to email?

Often they're the truth-teller even if they can't sign. Write like you're helping their team survive the week. If you need budget, ask them who owns it instead of pretending they can PO a platform from Slack. Name the stall they care about, offer one small next step, and stop before the thread feels like a sequence.

Media note on flights that stall, brand-safety scares,

Body

Hi [First Name],

I'll keep this short so you can decide if a conversation is worth it.

In Media, that usually shows up as flights that stall, brand-safety scares, and follow-up that reads like leftover kit copy. I help [type of company] with rescued two paused IOs by sending a delivery diagnosis instead of another one-pager. Recent example: [result] for [similar team]. If that's irrelevant, ignore this.

Turn a quiet signal into a question they can answer without a meeting.

No pressure either way. I know unsolicited intros can be noise.

Best,
[Your Name]
[Your Title]
[Your Company]
