A Langley digital media company president has been fired after he sent an insulting and profanity-laced message to an unsatisfied client.

Annette Andersson of About the Bra, an Alberta-based lingerie store, had contacted Langley害羞草研究所檚 Agency Media, part of the Westlund Group, about building her a website and creating a logo.

In late June, Andersson put up a post on Linkedin that went viral, when she described her interaction with the Agency Media president and how it quickly degenerated.

Andersson said that after some back and forth, and a lack of times she could meet with them, she asked for her money back, but got no response.

Her response from then-Agency president Joel MacDonald was two sentences long.

Andersson shared an image of it on her Linkedin account.

After Andersson went public, MacDonald was fired from his roles at both Agency Media and Apex Wireless by Westlund group CEO Andrew Westlund.

The message said he had personally apologized to Andersson and offered her support.

He added that MacDonald had also reached out to apologize.

As of July 6, the Agency Media website remained offline, after Westlund noted that the company was taking it down to remove MacDonald害羞草研究所檚 name and images.

Andersson noted in a follow up post that after complaining to the Better Business Bureau, she did get her refund.

The Langley Advance Times has reached out to both the Westlund Group and About the Bra for further comment.
