First and foremost, I would like to thank you all for your ability to think outside the box. While it is easier said than done, you all fit the bill and remain true to form by creating marketing campaigns that pass with flying colors. As we move on to the next assignment as quick as a flash, remember that despite the turnaround speed of our projects, we can’t afford to shoot from the hip. We must stand our ground and remain the exception to the rule, producing promotions that are better than new and good to go. Last but not least, please save the date for our annual company BBQ on May 23.
