Memoirs of a Marketer

It has been quiet in the office with two of our louder members of staff on their holiday’s this week. It has been positively tranquil!

We’ve had the opportunity to develop the use of video messaging for Business Development recently in Communications House. So far it’s worked a treat and we have had some excellent responses from potential clients. Of course the set-up of the studio and recording I like to leave to the more media savvy folk such as Helen ‘Fordy’ Ford and Ron ‘Spock’ Gilmour.

Have you got yourself on Twitter? I set up Comtec’s Twitter a while back now and always update it with some relevant news and views. If you want to follow us go to twitter.com/comtecpres or search comtecpres when you are next logged in.

On another note, we said good-bye to Rowan last week with a few drinks in the local pub. We wish him all the best as him and his girlfriend Cat go on their travels. First stop, Portugal!

Hasta la vista!

Motor Trader

As usual July comes round and the Comtec crew takes to the road for the Motor Trader Industry Awards. With happy smiley faces the Comtec crew, loaded up Big Bertha (the truck) and the crew jumped into the bus heading down to ‘the big shmoke’. The journey was long to say the least, as the motorways came to yet another stand still. All magazines had been read for the 2nd time - yawn - and after 9 long hours we saw the bright lights of London and the crew bus pulled up outside the Grosvenor House Hotel, Park Lane where we were soon joined by Bertha...

As Fode lowered the tail lift and everyone eagerly awaited the start of the load in, the heavens opened. At first this wasn't too bad, until the sky went from grey to black and the rain changed from a heavy summers rain, to Arctic pebbles of ice!

As the pebbles hit us they felt like needles in our backs. Luckily we had Rowan on hand to brighten the mood as he decided to do a bit of singing in the rain and the crew couldn’t fight back the hysterical laughter.

The load in was the quickest yet, there's a new record to beat crew!
