The title is horrible. "Marketing for Developers -- Applying a low touch approach". Hm, that looks like something in my ads/spam folder.

The mail starts with some random blurb about the company. Honestly I don't care (yet). All I would think is: Why are you contacting me? How did you find out about me? They say they solve problems. Which problems? How are they related to my field of work?

After that I wouldn't even care to read the rest. Sorry, this is bad execution.

I'd probably even never open such email on my business email. I get a lot of random emails from a lot of people, I don't think they're the first to figure firstname.lastname@business.com out.
When I get recruiter spam to my work email, I always ask how the writer came across my address. Usually I don't get a response, but sometimes I've had them come clean about either using a service, or guessing.
