Our Christmas gift to you
2011 has been an incredible year at The Product Marketing Company, with many successes and achievements to celebrate. We are an enthusiastic, energetic team with an array of skills and we work well together to achieve our goals. Ultimately these goals are to meet the varying needs of our clients, who in turn are a varied bunch across a range of sectors.
The TPMC unit has evolved over the last 12 months, often acting as an external marketing department for clients whose in-house teams have been reduced in size due to internal cost-cutting measures. Cohesive and efficient, we strive to meet deadlines and exceed the expectations of our clients, offering strategic marketing advice at every stage, and having a lot of fun along the way.
The most recent addition to the TPMC team is Rachel who joined us as our Junior design apprentice back in April. She has been able to hone her skills under the watchful eyes of Natalie and Jay in the Creative Design department, most recently enjoying working on the 2012 nct professional catalogue.
Design highlights of the year include welcoming Mitsubishi Electric onboard as a new client, the design and build of a successful e-commerce site forBuyMatchTickets and designing some new innovative packaging for Jamie Oliver. We have branded and launched a new wood flooring company - Willowson - and have been delighted to celebrate Deb's recent award - Bedfordshire Businesswoman of the Year 2011. In the midst of all his design work, Jay found time to conquer The Three Peaks for charity back in January and more recently grew an impressive bandito moustache for the Movember charity. Team building has included clay pigeon shooting and plenty of late nights propping up the bars of local drinking establishments!
Tim and Deb spent 3 days in the US in early December with Seth Godin. If you haven't come across him, subscribe to his blog, or read one of his books such as Tribes, or The Purple Cow to see what all the fuss is about. He is internationally recognised as one of the top 50 creative minds of all time, and Tim and Deb have returned full of fire and dynamic strategic aims for 2012 . Exciting times ahead. You can keep up with all our latest news on our blog, follow us@TPMCCreative on twitter, or like us on facebook. Do feel free to get in touch with Emma if you need some advice on your own social media strategy. Her presentation to small business owners at the launch of the new Crouch End Project in November was well received and there will be more social media events in the New Year.
But back to the plot! As our Christmas gift to you, we would like to offer the first 10 companies who respond to this blog the opportunity to spend some time with us, brainstorming 'Seth style', and benefiting from some of his inspirational knowledge and wisdom. Come and spend an hour or two in the TPMC studio - coffee and croissants provided - and kick start 2012 with your very own Seth Godin Seminar - Product Marketing Style. To find out more or book a session just email emma.garrett@product-marketing.co.uk with a bit of information about your business, and what you would hope to achieve in 2012.
All it remains for me to say is Merry Christmas to all our clients and friends, and we wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year.
