It was great to start off the new year with a fact-filled staff meeting, a celebration of promotions and awards, memories of a successful Snocial, and a vision of the future for One to One — and the pizza wasn’t half-bad either!

For our January OMG Award, three talented, dedicated individuals were nominated: Mark Alexander, Lead Platform Developer, One to One Connect (Charlestown); Casey O’Looney, Account Supervisor, One to One Interactive (Reno); and Ryan Spence, Contextual Marketing Specialist, One to One Networks (Baltimore). Superman sailed South (smart guy!) to greet our smiling winner, Ryan, in our Baltimore office with a lovely gift card. Congratulations Ryan!

Through our Chief People Officer Bill Haeck’s slideshow, One to One’s commitment to creating a cohesive, fun, and supportive company culture shone through loud and clear. From adding an extra week’s vacation to employees’ schedules to initiatives in providing world class management-level training to starting a “Think Differently” speaker series and discussing our “Six Beings of I” credo —- and even rolling out a new employee survey, from which we expect 100% participation – we want to hear your voice!

Leaders Ian and Jeremi Karnell shared highlights of our tremendous progress over the past year, goals for the new year, and offered kind words and kudos to the pitch team that worked night and day to absolutely knock.our.clients.off.their.feet last week – can’t wait to hear the exciting results!

Strap on your seatbelts, people, because 2011 is gonna be a fast, exciting, and yes – fun – ride!
