HF Advice Needed!

I interviewed at a MM around 5 months ago, was a lengthy process and was beat by another candidate however the senior PM liked me and said he’d consider me for future openings. Specifically, I think my case study was not as good as I would’ve hoped but my interactions and discussions went really really well. On that note, I want to follow up the Sr PM and send a pitch on a name I’ve been gaining conviction on into the print - thinking about putting together similar to case study (model and doc). Is this a good idea? Really appreciate advice on this please.

agree with this. As long as it's a decent pitch, you have nothing to lose. If you've addressed some of the weaknesses of your case study, even better. Can even mention it.

I have reengaged with PMs who have turned me down 2x. 

1st time led to a job offer I accepted. 2nd time led to a verbal offer that I turned down.

What do you have to lose? You can always recycle the pitch for some other process, and it's always good to keep one in the chamber.
