Halloween '07
Being the OD-Employee Engagement POC for the account is really fun. As in! hehe I started meeting up with the OD team for the first event that our account will be joining - PS Idol 2007 last August. At first I was hesitant to interact and speak up during the few meetings that we had. The event was a success to make the story short. Then came Halloween '07. This time, the shy-newbie feeling me was gone. I slowly started giving out suggestions as to what theme this year's Halloween celebration should have, judging date, deadlines, waivers and many more. It was decided that this year's theme will be "American TV Series" (both past and present). A number of really good TV series came out that each account in PS has chosen, and I must say, they were pretty good series that if you make it come to life, will really wow the judges. There was one account who chose CSI:Who Killed Barbie in the Mardigras, one chose Heroes, another submitted Rome and Purple Titans picked "Ugly Betty" for our theme. So the themes that were submitted were all approved and it's decoration time! Each account was given a budget of Php3000.00 for the floor decoration and centerpiece which was to be judged on the big night. Raymond started giving out suggestions and even sent out emails as to what the peeps could possibly wear in adherence to the theme. The other Supervisors discussed to their respective teams the contest and I sent out some teasers to hype up the event. We started soliciting for a lot of clothes for the "Closet", mannequins for props, the never-ending visit to Nationa Bookstore for the materials that we need for the floor decoration, and the hours of staying at the office just to finisht our piece. Then came the big night. There were invited judges which are commendable on their own right. I must say that we have chosen a good set of judges since we bagged the Third Place! Not bad for a new account here in Cebu! Trust me, we are starting to build the account's name here and we are building it BIG! A few of us also won individual prizes: Honey and Roan won the best individual costume (Php200.00 worth of Starbucks GCs for each of them) and Raymond won the best Mascot award for the account (Php700.00 worth of Starbucks GCs) which he used to treat me when we went to Starbucks Ayala Center - Thanks Marse! : ) It was a really fun, yes exausting, but a fun event for all of us.
