A Charmer: In & Out Of The Office.

The M&a headquarters can tend to get a bit wild, but we have it all under control with our salesforce.com specialist on the Lexus account: Mike; whom is a real life snake charmer. It takes more than a few uneasy reptiles to frighten Mike. He has even had an article written about him in the “Highland Originals” magazine, quoted as aptly explaining that his volunteer work at WIRES is rewarded when “ordinary people learn extraordinary things.” Way to go Mike! Akin to rescuing reptiles, Mike often puts his problem solving skills to work in the agency. Whether setting free an animal or deciphering computer malfunctions, Mike sure loves what he does.

And The Beat Goes On.

Another roaring hit. More than expected arrived for the two Trend Micro luncheons, held in Melbourne and Sydney last week.

Attendees were dazzled by the juggling circus performers who greeted guests as they entered. The giveaway bags, equipped with lollies, mini CD’s packed with informative info and 3 colorful Trend Micro juggling balls, proved to be an enormous hit as the Key note speaker, Steve Quane, revealed himself as quite an expert juggler.

The luncheon was closed with guests attempting to juggle their complementary gifts. Thus creating a visual parallel to the theme of an instant cloud environment.

Smashing job Pat and the M&a team for delivering exceptional event for our happy client Vannessa McCamley, Channel Marketing Manager, at Trend Micro!

Wait, with baited breath, for our filmed clips of the Melbourne event, coming soon.
