Want to network for FT

I am looking at networking for a few small niche boutiques for FT and want to send out a few cold emails. I have landed an SA position at a UMM (RBC type). Should I mention the specific bank in the email so they know I that I know at least a little bit about IB. I go to a state school so I would like to look as credible as possible.
