Happy birthday, Cupcake

Today we celebrated the birthday of trademarkDM associate account director, Carmen Petropulo, with a round of cupcakes.

And of course, a round of Happy Birthday in the cringingly tuneless tradition of THE DM GROUP.

We find it’s the icing on the cake when it comes to humiliating our colleagues on their special day.

Vegas Baby, Vegas!

Today, clickDM’s Ian Ross departs for sin city.

According to his mates, it’s for margaritas and senoritas. We reckon it’s a Star Trek convention. Ian says he just needs some R&R.

Whatever the reason, he’ll be back in three weeks. Unless he ends up in the Pen or married by – or to – an Elvis impersonator, that is.

Meanwhile, the wheel of clickDM is in the capable hands of ‘Steinfort!’ The top’s down. The engine’s idling.

Vegas Baby, Vegas!

A healthy lunchbreak

Today, Heather Jones from Medicines Australia visited THE DM GROUP.

We invited her down from Sydney to conduct a seminar about
the latest edition of the Code of Conduct for pharmaceutical companies.

With over 20 people attending – a free lunch always helps –
it was a valuable opportunity to learn more about the code’s newest criteria.

And most importantly, ask questions to ensure the GSK work created by trademarkDM and clickDM continues to comply with the code.

Thanks for taking the time to visit, Heather, we enjoyed your talk.

We enjoyed lunch, too.

Rinse. Recycle. Repeat.

As we’ve posted in the past, THE DM GROUP is committed to being a good corporate citizen.

It’s a big commitment built on small steps.

Like our new bottle recycling bin.

Not a new idea, we know, but it’s a new addition to our office and yet one more step on our corporate social responsibility journey.

As the frog logo of CSR team says, ‘Hop to it.’
