Amp’d Mobile is Dead…And So is Their Copywriter’s Soul
Well, not so surprisingly, Amp’d mobile has officially bit the big one. I've actually never met anyone who was cool/alternative/MySpacey enough to have actually paid to have Amp’d mobile, which probably explains a lot, but I’m sure there are a lot of sad teenyboppers out there who are having to beg mom and dad for an iPhone tonight.
But if there is anyone who is outwardly pissed/sad/emotionally destroyed about the end of Amp’d mobile, it is their copywriter. If you want proof, check out this web page on the Amp’d site that explains the death of Amp’d to Amp’d subscribers.
By the way, I find it really ironic that the URL of this page is http://promotions.ampd.com/q_and_a/. Since when was going out of business a promotion?
Update! Amp'd's copywriter left a comment...and this photo.

Hi there. As the aforementioned soulless copywriter, just wanted to say I got a kick out of this post :) And that actually, I didn't write the Fire Sale Q&A you linked above. I don't know who did. Probably the senior management themselves.
I am, however, responsible for this little nugget of "guerrilla" marketing:

Hey Yama! Thanks for the comment - and that photo rules. Still laughing.
If you are in-house of Amp'd, good luck in finding a new, and better job. If you aren't in-house...well, keep up the good work :)
