FUN TIMES- STAFF PARTAY!
M&a has organising an event down to a fine art and last Thursday the staff reaped the benefits! The gang warmed up for the staff party with a long jump competition in the office; and the night only escalated in leaps and bounds from there. With French Martini’s, party gags and regal thrones, the M&a team had a hooter of a night. Each getting assigned with a personalised Mr Men persona we wore our character lanyards with pride through the night. There were even miniature gold trophies handed out to the 6 winners of categories voted for on the night including; best shoes and loudest laugh (the latter going to Scott of course). A huge thank you must go to Scott, Karen, Pat and Mel for making the night possible! Cheers.

Scott Loves What He Does.
It is difficult to get a grasp of how a company really runs. What do the clients experience? How do the staff communicate? And what impression does the business leave on those who have dealings with it? Well, when your boss is Scott McCorkell it’s easy!
Congeniality filters down through each tier of his business. A staff member from the next door offices said to me in the elevator “gosh your office sounds fun! We can always hear your boss laughing through the walls.” I am proud to say it is not just our team at M&a that thinks this either.
The following collation of statements speak volumes. Scott Probably wouldn’t even want me to put these comments up, however, I feel they need to be shared. They are not only lovely personal references but they are spot on descriptions of the workings of M&a.
Recommendations:
Owner/CEO
McCorkell & Associates
“I have known Scott over the last two decades where he has provided services to the organisations that I represented. I recommend him and his team to anyone who wants to ensure that the dollar they spend will impact the target audiences in a meaningful way. From the moment you meet with him, you are assured of his experience, breadth of knowledge and scope of the services that he excels in. Money well spent, but also the added value of a business partner dedicated to going beyond the brief and delighting customers with outcomes that are lasting..He also has a keen sense of humour that brings a fresh aspect to the initiatives that he and his team create.”
Top qualities: Great Results , Personable
Don Cooper-Williams

David Spencer , Director , Wacom Australia Pty Ltd

Norman Krieke
Director at Samsung Electronics
“Having worked with Scott on several occasions in different roles, I have seen various sides of the man and his way of working. I count myself a friend and respect his way of doing business, caring for staff and colleagues alike, while offering and seeking accountability. He has a strong and authentic work ethic as well as enabling initiative and encouraging ownership of tasks and achievements. As he often says: any fitter and I'd rust, meaning his attitude to life is a positive affirmation.”
Paul Payten , Operations Manager , McCorkell & Associates
“Scott McCorkell is an interesting mix of all the things that make Australia a great place to do business. He is generous and gregarious by nature. He is an enthusiastic and passionate business leader and he is savvy enough to know how to show the young pups that the old dog still knows a trick or two to get things done. He surrounds himself with talented people who he gives plenty of room to show what they can do.”
Martin Conboy , Director , FooBoo
“Scott runs a very creative, reliable and results driven agency that is a pleasure to work with. Over many years I have engaged the services of M&A for numerous projects at various companies and they have always delivered over and above expectation.”

Aaron Crowther
PR and Communications Manager at EMC

Rhonda Chandler

“Mr McCorkell is one of the best bosses i have worked for... A huge charisma at personal level and at a business level, clear headed and decision leader who has a very strong business acumen.”
Ianton Tan , Campaign Manager, APAC , McCorkell & Associates
“It was certainly a pleasure to work for Scott over 4 years.
Scott's no-nonsense approached demonstrated that successful campaigns can deliver results - Registrations, Sales, Phone Calls, Brand Recall, Appointments - yet, maintain a high level of creativity.
Scott's love for the Marketing and Advertising industry is undeniable, his ability to forge long-term client relationships is real and his ability to continually evolve his business, both domestically and internally is inspiring.
Nick Smith
Marketing Strategy
“Scott has pioneered IT&T marketing in Australia, dragging brands with little to no profile into the spotlight time and again. Understanding the fundamentals of selling direct or channeling technology to market means Scott also appreciates how valuable it is to have one supplier that can manage everything, from simple leads generation to complex regional events management.”

There is never a dull moment in our office. Carl has taken his title of 'Creative' to a new level. He has fashioned this glasses-suspension-device through attaching some lanyards from the ceiling. Charade!

Going The Distance.
On your marks. Get set. Oxfam!
As well as being a stayer in the office, Greg has proved he is one on foot also. On the weekend of 27-29 August, he participated in the Sydney Trailwalker. Navigating his way along the walking track in the bushland of Northern Sydney, Greg accomplished the 100km trek in 27 hours. Exhausted you say - not Greg! Sore muscles and dehydration couldn’t stop him from embracing the challenge, even loving it.
Greg's team raised over $7000 with the money going to aid Oxfam’s work in 26 countries. For more information (and any last minute donations) hop onto the website

That's How We Roll.
Continuing on with our shoe of the week blog-spots; today Alice's biker boots are featured. These ankle boots almost appear roadworthy and with Alice heading the Lexus account it seems fitting that her footwear echoes an automobile. As Alice zips around the office in these bad boys, work is being completed at a rapidly efficient rate.
